[Solved] EA7500v2 Assign WAN to LAN

Installing and Using OpenWrt Network and Wireless Configuration
1

Hey folks, I've just successfully flashed Openwrt to my EA7500 v2, which I'm using as a Dumb AP. I'd like to assign the WAN port to be a 5th LAN port. I'm on the latest 21.0.2 branch. I've read through the forums and it looks like this can be easy to get wrong, so I figured (for once), I'd look before I leap, and ask for advice from the forum. I'm familiar enough with CLI to be dangerous, but I can follow instructions. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

delete the maccaddr line below:

then remove the device 'wan' in these two stanzas:

and finally, add the wan port to the br-lan so that it looks like this:

config device
        option name 'br-lan'
        option type 'bridge'
        list ports 'lan1'
        list ports 'lan2'
        list ports 'lan3'
        list ports 'lan4'
        list ports 'wan'
