Or, you can set the port which has the ethernet connected as the master and let port ether2 slave off it. I don't believe it matters which port is master or slave. Then reconfigure your DHCP server to listen on the new master port. That would be much easier than doing tech support for family. But, for my parents' router from 10,000 miles away, I'd probably just run a "stable" version of RouterOS, something like 4.13 or 4.16.
