I've had similar "problems" and the reason to choose lan instead
of wan was that wan was firewalled by default. Naming the
_single_ ethernet port as "lan" avoided this, and seemed simpler
than calling it wan and making sure the firewall rules were also
changed/disabled. It would be nice if it was easier to use the
board defaults infrastructure for devices like this with only a
single ethernet port, that are often used as client devices,
often with a wifi AP, rather than the traditional ethernet AP,
wifi disabled.

Cheers,
