| I'm just about to order this and wanted to know if I can connect it just to
the LAN side of my router rather than WAN side?

If you want to stick it on the LAN side of a router you would probably
be better off with a different ATA... (The Linksys PAP2 has pretty much
the same innards, but at half the price, if you want an ATA to use only
as a client.)
The Grandstream 486 is a similar product and that can be used as a
router or a client - from memory I think you use only the "WAN" port to
connect it as a client (with WAN-side configuration enabled) - so you
could possibly do the same with the 2100. Otherwise it would mean
running it as a router behind a router, which complicates things a bit
when it comes to IP addresses etc. And the QoS feature would be pretty
useless...

You can connect the LAN port to a spare port on your existing router. There
would be a number of ports to forward <easy> if you choose this route (as
have I) or you could place the SPA in your router's DMZ.
Alternatively, you can use it in place of your existing router, however,
AFIAK, it only runs at 10Meg, rather that 100.
So, yes.
