I have given that some though for sure, but no one has yet answered either of my questions. Plus, I don't really know what I would need in order to setup the wireless access point since I haven't had a ton of experience with networking gear.

This page has a big button at the top:
WAX204 | WiFi 6 Access Point | NETGEAR Support
It says Guided Assistance. Did you try that?

Installation Guide (for Firmware version v1.0.2.x or later)
These things can be tricky. So start with those and come back with bits in them that you don't understand.

Sorry for the confusion on my part. I actually didn't know where to look for certain documentation & what have you.

At least now I can say confidently that this will work. :) Now to put it into action. Hopefully, I won't have to change much as far as my network goes considering I've never done this before...
