That would involve taking the cover off, removing the battery, then
the SIM, refitting the battery and back cover. That's assuming it
still provides a LAN service when disconnected from its WAN (which
it ought). And then reversing the above whenever you *want* the Internet.

I would be surprised if it didn't have DHCP, as it's a portable device
and would expect to be seeing a lot of new devices. But I have no idea
why they would go to the trouble and expense of providing a DNS server.
How would you use it?
