Sorry you are locked out. What did you change? The lan (especially the Ethernet ports) should not be affected by a change to the wan/wwan or the WiFi radio configuration, so it sounds like something else might be going on.

I tried scanning for a network to connect to but while I was connected to said network. I was connected via wireless because of this issue with the lan settings.
Here is the default interfaces file, which works:
config device
option name 'br-lan'
option type 'bridge'
list ports 'lan1'
list ports 'lan2'
list ports 'lan3'
list ports 'lan4'
config interface 'lan'
option device 'br-lan'
option proto 'static'
option ipaddr '192.168.1.1'
option netmask '255.255.255.0'
option ip6assign '60'
config interface 'wan'
option device 'wan'
option proto 'dhcp'
config interface 'wan6'
option device 'wan'
option proto 'dhcpv6'
Default wifi
config interface 'wwan'
option proto 'dhcp'
in the interfaces file
Please post the complete config files (the full contents of all 4 of the requested files). There isn’t enough information here to help you.

Edit:
Figured out why the lan interface was not working! For some reason it needs DHCP enabled to function even if it is set to a static ip address.
I recommend removing the gateway and broadcast addresses from the lan network interface definition. Those will happen automatically in the background.
I also recommend removing broadcast from the wan (again, it'll happen automatically). This shouldn't cause a problem, but it's just cleaner without.
You had disabled the dhcp server which was the problem. This should be disabled if you have a DHCP server already on a given subnet, but in the vast majority of cases, it should be enabled. In this case, you disabled the DHCP on your lan subnet, so there was nothing to provide DHCP addresses to the hosts on that network. (DHCP is not absolutely required for a network to function, of course. But without it, you must set all of the downstream devices with static IPs (manually configured on each device; some devices don't even have a user interface to let you do this))
Why does it have those sections if they shouldn't be edited? In regard to the gateway it says "10.1.1.1" which, is the ip address on the main router when I had manually set it to "10.1.1.4" the address of the wifi interface. I would have thought it would need the wifi interface address?
They are there so that you can override defaults or make special configurations where needed. But the defaults are usually good for the vast majority of users. It is only necessary to change them if you are doing something that is a bit more custom. It's like the defaults on so many systems these days (ranging from your car to your TV to your computer and everything in between) -- yes, you can change lots of settings, but they're configured with default states that are appropriate for a very large part of the user base.
the gateway is the address of the device that connects to the "next" network (i.e. the internet in many cases). The nominally correct address for the gateway is actually 10.1.1.1 because that is the address of the actual upstream gateway. 10.1.1.4 is held by the router, it's not actually the gateway, but I think this actually works because that address has an associated gateway, but is not technically correct to use it this way. Further, normally the gateway must be defined within the same subnet, and this is not... although it does work because you're defining a gateway that the routing table already understands, it looks strange.
In many cases with this type of normal routed configuration, it is best to omit the gateway because it will cause all routing to break if the wan's network is changed. When omitted, the router will use the default gateway to route traffic from the lan to the upstream (i.e. internet) networks... that default gateway is the address on the wan and is automatically populated in the routing table.
Ah ok. Thanks.
