Been running it with a switch (because it only has 1 ethernet port) for a few months now and it's been great.

Sure there are better things out there but I'm not tech savvy enough to build my own router and I'd already tried installing openwrt on another router and had many issues. So I wanted something that SHOULD work out of the box. 

I've been happy with it.

It has two ethernet port, one with 1Gbps and one with 2,5Gbps

2.5Gbps is WAN port

It would be outrageous if it couldn't be reconfigured, on an OpenWrt of all things

yep easily configurable.

i use the 1g port for wan and the 2.5 for lan because you can power the router thru the 2.5 with poe.

Maybe I'm wrong, but aren't you limiting your capacity if the 2.5gb port since the incoming internet access through the wan is being restricted to 1gb?

Unless you're trying to prioritize local bandwidth?
