Using Linksys WRK54G as Internal Only Switch

Hi All,

I just got a Linksys WRK54G router/switch. However, I dont want to connect it externally outside my network. Right now I have a setup
like:

code

Wall===>cable wire===>Surfboard Cablemodem===>Zyxel 4port Router/Switch====>4 servers on cat5 cables

I want to set up this:

code

Wall===>cable wire===>Surfboard Cablemodem===>Zyxel 4port Router/Switch====>3 servers & 1====>crossover cable to Linksys wireless router===>3 wireless devices

However, I dont see an "uplink" option to turn the Linksys into a straight up switch... Was under the impression that most router-switch devices had an uplink option.

Documentation for this hardware is utter garbage - so really no help there. I see something under "Advanced Routing" for "Operating Mode" Router vs Gateway, however no other options regarding this operation nor any useful directions on converting.

Is this possible to do? can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
