How to use lan port as wan port. My wan port is not working. I flashed openwrt but switch menu is not appearing.
Please describe how to solve the issue.
I'm not very expart on these things.
What is the router's make/model/chipset? If you have a DSA model, remove one of the lan ports from the br-lan bridge, then use it as the Device on the wan interface. The broken wan port can be left out of the configuration entirely.

Can you tell me shortly about that?
This is a MT7621 chip, so yes it is DSA. There is no Network-Switch page any more.
Go to Network-Interfaces and click on the Devices tab. Find br-lan in the list and click its Configure button. Click the little down arrow at the end of the list of Bridge Ports and uncheck one of the ones named 'lan' with a number. This should of course not be the one that your PC is connected to. Save this change.
Then go back to the Interfaces tab, find WAN, and click its Edit button Change the Device to the Switch Port that you removed in the first step. Save and apply that change then plug your modem into the lan port which is now functionally wan.
