Yes, you can switch the router into AP mode and connect it to the unmanaged switch, which then links to the Dual WAN. This way you avoid adding a new router to your network.
When you disable DHCP or switch the router to AP mode, every device's IP address will be managed by the dual WAN, keeping all your gadgets within the 192.168.0.x range.
It functioned almost flawlessly. It seems I didn't assume the DUAL WAN operated as a router. I was actually expecting NAT functionality. I consider it nearly perfect since the PoE switch is managed, which surprised me because I didn’t have access to a control panel and no IP address was available at the time. Once I connected the switch directly to the DUAL WAN, it assigned an IP address as well, so I disabled DHCP for the switch. After entering the port details into the DUAL WAN, everything worked smoothly. Quick question: Would disabling DHCP on the router have caused the same issue? P.S. I’m now using the router as an access point as planned.
