Hello,
My setup: Plusnet Hub 1 (BTHH5A) currently running openwrt 21.02.3. Works fine without problem as main VDSL router. I have several of these routers as they can be used as WAP's so I setup one of them as a hot spare in case the main one went down.
I saw the new upgrade was available to 22.03.0 and thought that I would try and upgrade the spare router to this first. Not so straightforward as previous upgrades and had to do a factory reset eventually. I have now configured the spare router with the correct setting except one.
In 21.02.3 there was Network >switch menu. I had used this to convert the WAN port to a 5th LAN port and this worked fine.
In 22.03.0 there is no switch menu so how do I go about changing the WAN port to be an additional LAN port ?
Thanks
Your device has probably transitioned to a DSA based configuration instead of swconfig.
More than likely, you just have to remove the wan port from wan and wan6 network interfaces and then add it under the br-lan.
Post your /etc/config/network
file and we can give you specifics.

option annex 'a'
option ds_snr_offset '0'
config device
option name 'br-lan'

You need to add 'wan' to the list of ports in br-lan. ("wan" is the red port)
You can do it from the web ui: network->interfaces and select the devices tab then click configure br-lan and add switch port wan to the bridge ports.

Thanks both for the info. I have configured as suggested and the red WAN port is working fine as an additional LAN port.
