WAN doesn’t take DHCP

It appears that this is a DSL modem/router, so the WAN is configured for the DSL connection (which you are not using). So, you'll have to separate out one of the LAN ports to act as a WAN. Assuming the hardware supports it, you can do this either via LuCI (Network > Switch), or by ssh using UCI commands or editing the /etc/config/network file.
