It is possible to switch the 'internal' and 'external' roles of the interfaces after reaching the Plinth interface. We made a network diagram on the finish page of first boot wizard and linked to the network settings page realizing that the defaults may not be what people want. This behavior is the default one merely because it is a more likely scenario for FreedomBox to be used as Wi-Fi router at home when the device has one Ethernet device and one or more Wi-Fi devices. -- Sunil
