Switch between Upstreaming Device

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello,

i am new to OpenWrt and i really like is.

I installed it on a Xiaomi 3g Router and it works fine.
I have a question for the connection to my internetRouter. I connect it for testing via wifi and Luci show me the wifi connection as a upstream Device and it works fine.

But now i want to connect via Lan so i plugged a lan cabel to my openwrt (in wan Port) in the leds are blinking but how i add this "device" and use it as Upstream device?
Can i have configuried a wlan and a lan upstream device and disable one so i can switch between this device?

The default configuration uses DHCP protocol for the WAN port, so if it is just an ethernet connection it is basically plug and play.
Other than that you can use mwan3 package to load balance or failover multiple uplinks.

But it doesent work, i think maybe i delete the Wan port in Luci (at the Beginning) but when i add an new Interface and set it to dhcp i dont get any connection.

Or is there a other way to add the wan device back?
Here are some pictures of the device i added.

One problem is here:

You are using the eth0 in lan interface as well.
Judging by the switch configuration, WAN port on the switch must be port 1, which should be eth0.2
I suggest you restore to factory defaults and start from scratch configuring the device.

yeah thats what i did now the connection over ethernet works fine.
Can i connect via wifi to the same router at same time an switch between wlan an lan somehow?

Better not. Just use mwan3 for multiple different internet uplinks.
