You should just put it next to your router with a wired connection. This should improve latency for dns requests and give you less headache because no problems with wifi can happen.
Wait, so I just need to use one lan/wan? I was under the impression I had to have it kind of set up like a router by using the lan cable for network access and then the wan for devices to connect to... That's not how it works?
I already have an omv nas on a different device I could use as well.
You just need to connect the raspberry to your network, set a static IP and set the DNS server in your router to the IP of the RPi. Your router handles all the Routing and Wifi and the RPi just resolves DNS queries.
I suggest looking up what DNS is and that should clear things up for you.
Btw, I gess you meant wlan with wan, those are two different things in networking.
