Using Nighthawk ethernet switch as a network switch

I want to use my gaming switch as a network switch between the modem from my ISP and my server.  I don't have a LAN port open on the modem since the ISP connects directly to the LAN port on the modem.  Can I use a WAN port instead?

This does not make much sense to me - the ISP is commonly on the WAN side. Unlikely the router has any functionality right now (ie. NAT, firewall). Provide more details, or talk to your ISP please.
