Use ethernet port on Raspberry Pi for LAN

Hello!

So, I have a TV that does not have Wi-Fi built-in but has an ethernet port.
I do not have a way to get an ethernet cable from my main router to this TV.
I do however have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with OpenWRT installed which has a built in Wi-Fi and an on-board NIC.

What I was trying to do was to connect the Pi via Wi-Fi (acting as a WAN connection) then connect the ethernet cable from the Pi directly to the TV to give it network connectivity.

I am able to get the device connected to Wi-Fi but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the on-board NIC to provide internet access to the TV. Every time I connect the cable, there is simply no connection. I tired connecting to a laptop and get the same result.

How exactly is this done?

is the ethernet port configured as LAN or WAN ?

So I changed the ethernet port to my wireless device which is my wan.
Not sure if

this is correct?

go into wireless, scan for networks, and join.

put the wifi interface, running as client, as WAN.

Keep/change the ethernet port as LAN, make sure the DHCP is enabled, and the subnet on the wifi client interface and LAN interface aren't the same.

Thank you!
