By default, there are two VLANs configured. One for LAN and another one
for WAN.

On the back of your device, there are 4 LAN ports and 1 WAN port, but
they are all physically wired up to one switch chip. Therefore, two
VLANs are necessary to seperate them logically.

VLAN1 is eth0.1 (LAN)
VLAN2 is eht0.2 (WAN)

> Is that a synonym for upstream, or gateway?
Yes, it is the connection between the switch chip and the SoC [1].
