I’ve just installed OpenWRT on my NETGEAR WAC104. It has 4 LAN ports, and you’re meant to pick one to use as WAN. I set up an interface for the WAN on LAN4, and set up my wireless networks through Luci, and my wireless devices are able to access the internet just fine. However, my devices connected over LAN are not connecting to the internet, and I don’t believe they’re connecting to each other either. Luci is only showing two interfaces: br-lan, and the new WAN interface I set up with DHCP. What am I missing?

You need to remove lan4 from br-lan since you are using it in your wan network.
Change the name of the 'internet' interface to 'wan' (all lowercase). This small change will fit the standard paradigm which is already setup in the firewall.
