-This extender lacks a WAN port, but with OpenWrt webinterface "Network > Switch" one of the untagged LAN ports can be swapped to VLAN id2 to make that function as a WAN port. For instance change VLAN id 1, LAN PORT from "untagged" to "off" (make sure its not your current used port to administer the device) and change VLAN id 2, LAN PORT from "off" to "untagged". Than save and apply and you will have a working WAN and Router if you connect Internet to new WAN port (LAN 1)+This extender lacks a WAN port, but with OpenWrt webinterface "Network > Switch" one of the untagged LAN ports can be set to VLAN id 2 to make that port function as a WAN port.
