If there’s an active Ethernet connection into the “WAN” port it will use it all the time. But there’s times I don’t want to use it (i.e, when I’m in hotels sometimes) and would prefer to not have to manually disconnect it- it would be so nice to have a “Disconnect” button for the Ethernet WAN, just like with Cellular (for my X3000), Tethering, etc.
RN I fake it by using an Asix-based USB Ethernet, so it shows up as “Tethering”, but that’s such a workaround.
Nah, that’s nothing you really need. That’s not how WAN works.
If you want to disconnect, you can simply pull the cable or disable the interface in luci
Cellular + Tethering are both different because they are more an “application” than a wired connection. As I wrote before you can disable the interface if you like to. But using a router which is connected by wire and then wanting that it does not connect by wire is pretty … weird.
Why does it matter how you get to the general Internet? WAN is WAN. If there’s a way to do it via LuCi, then why did they wire up buttons for Cellular and Tethering? After all, they’re just “EthX” interfaces too in the UI
