I was going to say, to put the host(s) connected to the wan port on the 
same network as other ports, but using the wan interface for that 
instead would work. Cool, we can cross this off the list.

Finding the cause of reduced network performance is quite a challenging 
task. The only person I know that gives this a serious approach is Rafał 
Miłecki. There are scripts and things they share on the openwrt-devel 
mailing list along with details of their investigation, usually for 
Broadcom SoCs.

I'm no good in this so I'm not going to do anything about it. There are 
issues with the MediaTek ethernet and MT7530 DSA subdriver that 
completely break communication which I want to have them addressed.
