here are my vlans (simply broke them apart to have flexibility to add an extra WAN in the future). The idea is to re-join them and make sure all is well before I proceed further.
Your LAN Physical Settings should have all three eth0.1, eth0.2, and eth0.3 checked. But not eth0.
That establishes a software bridge to make them all work as LAN ports. Later when you want to use one for other things you would create a new network interface and move the eth0.x over to it.
Yes, overlooked eth0 (old screenshot and was fixed at the time of posting).
I would think everything would have been as it was before (other than tagged vs untagged on CPU), but it doesn't seem to be the case. I can only connect to the router with a static IP from the computer (no DHCP function in the router).
