Hello,

I have a Linksys wireless WRT350N router with 5 ethernet ports.
The fifth is being used as WAN port but I would like to use this one too for ethernet (read: as LAN port).
With both DD-WRT and Tomato, this is very easy. It can be changed in the user interface.

Is it true that this is not possible with Open-Wrt?

Or if it is possible, how should I do this?

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks
