You could turn off dhcp on your router and then connect through the
LAN ports, but that's not what your original email indicated that you
wanted.
Connect only the WAN port on your router to one of the ethernet ports
on the modem. Leave the rest of your network connected to your router
the same way it was before. As long as you aren't trying to connect
in from outside, it's almost the same as it was.

Initially the ISP feed was into the WAN port on my dd-wrt router a [a
system I have been using for 13 years] and nothing was reaching the LAN,
wired or wifi. Normally the router feeds a 16 port switch that connects
the equipment on my wired LAN, to workaround the problem I have moved
the ISP input from the WAN jack to one of the Ethernet output ports, the
router is doing nothing but acting as a "switch" or hub, a straight
through Ethernet adapter does about the same thing. That bypasses all
the logging features that I must have to regulate usage ...
The ISP equipment does everything the ordinary user needs, mainly wifi,
and a wired connection, but it leaves me with no control other than to
pull the ac power plug.
