Hello Paul,

I guess depending on the router there are different ways. Some have only
eth0, some have eth0 and eth1.

I have one of the latter variety and bridged both eth0 and eth1 under
"lan". /etc/config/network that is used:

config interface 'loopback'
        option ifname 'lo'
        option proto 'static'
        option ipaddr '127.0.0.1'
        option netmask '255.0.0.0'

config globals 'globals'
        option ula_prefix '1234:1234:1234::/48'

config interface 'lan'
        option ifname 'eth0 eth1'
        option force_link '1'
        option type 'bridge'
        option proto 'dhcp'
#       option ipaddr '192.168.1.50'
#       option netmask '255.255.255.0'
#       option gateway '192.168.1.1'
#       option dns '192.168.1.1'
#       option ip6assign '60'
        option mtu '1492'

#config interface 'wan'
#       option ifname 'eth0'
#       option proto 'dhcp'

config interface 'lan6'
        option ifname '@lan'
        option proto 'dhcpv6'
        option reqprefix no

config switch
        option name 'switch0'
        option reset '1'
        option enable_vlan '1'

config switch_vlan
        option device 'switch0'
        option vlan '1'
        option ports '0 2 3 4 5'

config switch_vlan
        option device 'switch0'
        option vlan '2'
        option ports '1 6'

Kind regards,
Sebastian
