NAS while using an access point as main internet

Hi Guys,

I'm considering getting a WD my cloud home but have a few issues.
I am looking to back up files from my phone to a hard drive wirelessly the WD my cloud would he perfect but don't know if it will work for me

I reside in a little cottage. The main wifi router is in a separate building to mine and I have run a lan cable to my place and plugged it into a wireless access point.

How could I get the WD my cloud working in my place?

My current setup:

* Main router
Port 1 : Lan to Switch (in my place)

*Switch
Port 1 : Lan from main router
Port 2 : Lan to access point (my only available WIFI)
Port 3 : Hopefully if at all possible Lan to WD mycloud or other NAS that I'm able to access wirelessly. 

Thanks in advance

You can connect it to the switch or the main router and it will work fine, assuming you don't have multiple VLANs, in that case an additional setup would be required
