If you use the Router as a bridge or something else and you don't need the wan port, you could change the settings in /etc/config/network to get all five ports working on one vlan. You only have to do the following changes:
#### VLAN configuration
vlan0hwname=et0
vlan0ports="0 1 2 3 4 5*" # regular is "0 1 2 3 5*"
vlan1hwname=et0
vlan1ports="5" # regular is "4 5"
# I don't need the wan port, because the wgt is only client...
# so I have added the wan port to vlan0
#### WAN configuration
# deactivate the wan with "none"
wan_proto=none
wan_ifname=""
# not using wan
#wan_device="vlan1"
#wan_dns=""
So you can put a lan cable into the port next to the usb port (wan) and use it as a normal port in regular mode. And if you use booting kernel from tftp or you want to flash a new image via cfe you don't have to switch the lan cable from 'normal' 4 port switch to the wan port because it is still there.
