It should be the same as any other router...
- Assign a suitable management IP
- Disable DHCP
- Connect one of the LAN ports to the network
- Configure the Wi-Fi

Your router will have an IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1). This will also be your network's gateway address.
It will be running a DHCP server that issues IP addresses to your client devices in a defined range (e.g. 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200).
Your management IP needs to be in the same range (e.g. 192.168.0.???) but selected to not clash with either the router's IP or its DHCP range.
In this example you could choose anywhere between
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.99
and
192.168.0.201 to 192.168.0.254
