Hello,

It is possible, but from the WebUI. You have to login to the router via SSH and execute these commands:

uci set network.lan.ifname='eth0.1 tap0 eth0.2'
uci commit
/etc/init.d/network restart
SSH login information is:

Username: root
Password: router's admin password

To restore the WAN port back to normal, use these commands:

uci set network.lan.ifname='eth0.1 tap0'
uci commit
/etc/init.d/network restart

Comments

It works
I have enabled SSH remotely
I connected on the router remotely with SSH
I have executed the indicated commands
The device connected to the WAN replied to me as LAN
I tried to restart the router and the changes remained

thank you very much
