Those are wireless access points, but you don't plug anything
into the WAN port, just into the LAN ports, and you turn off
DHCP on each of them.

This is highly suboptimal, by the way. If you own this house,
you really want to run cat6 from each room to a central location
(attic, basement, room where wires enter your house) and put a
WAP in about half of the rooms and a simple switch in the other
half.

If you don't own the house, you might be surprised at what's
available to run cables along baseboards safely and
inexpensively, if more visibly.
