Still works like a charm, thank you.
Since I was struggling with the last items in the list, perhaps this will help someone in the future:
to verify that the device is connected, you should see something like this when logged in to the router:
To achieve this with OpenWrt 21.02.1 / LuCI openwrt-21.02 combination you have to: LuCi -> Network -> Interfaces -> Add new interface... From there:
and Create interface.
After that the interface "lte" is created and you can move to "Firewall Settings" tab (NB! no need to go to Network -> Firewall menu, it's a different thing) and for "Create / Assign firewall-zone", select "wan" and hit Save.
Lastly, don't forget to hit the "Save & Apply" button at the end
