Comment (by kalethis@…):
It seems I resolved the issue I was having. In my /etc/config/network
file, I removed the gateway and broadcast option entries for both vlans
(lin and lan), and after rebooting, luci overview status correctly
displayed and identified my wan interface. Adblock did as well. I had been
under the impression that the gateway, dns, and broadcast entries were to
be passed on or offered to connecting clients. If someone has the time and
correct knowledge, I would welcome an email that clarified the gateway
option here, as I'm certain that this option was causing the problem.
Perhaps because I was attempting to define multiple gateways.
As I'm writing this, it makes sense that you wouldn't set gateways for
these interfaces, because it is up to iptables to process packets received
by the ip set for each (v)lan interface and and forward them out thru the
default route, drop, reject, or respond to the packet itself. Anyways, I
hope this info proves useful for anyone else landing on this ticket whose
experiencing this issue.
