@meyergru, @Maurice - thanks for the answers.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to the Deco S7, so there's nothing I can do (it's a dormitory and I'm an end user).

If the WiFi (on PCIE) doesn't work with Proxmox+OPNsense - will it work on a separate miniPC with only OPNsense (Intel N100/N150 and 4x 2.5G)?

What are some other solutions for building my own network with internet 'from WiFi' (Deco S7)?

How do people solve the problem of having 'their own' network in hotels or on vacation?
-----------------------
Deco has 3x LAN ports and there's a chance I'll be able to connect via cable - so in that case: Deco > cable > GMKtec LAN1 and LAN2 > switch. And then from the switch to the AP, desktop, and the rest - will this improve the situation?

Hi,

I'm planning to build a homelab, and first and foremost, my own network (within another network).

My internet comes from a TP-Link Deco S7, so unfortunately, I think that's a double NAT?

Since I'm a complete beginner I ask for your advice and patience ;)
The entire network/homelab should be as mobile as possible - which is why I thought about all-in-one solution.
Will something like this work:

Deco7 > via WiFi > GMKtec NucBox M7 Ultra PRO 6850U (WiFi + 2x 2.5G LAN)

GMKtec: Proxmox (OPNsense + NAS + HA + ... ) and LAN1 > AP (which one do you recommend for a few phones/tablets), LAN2 > main desktop

Do I need a switch for this setup?
Will OPNsense in Proxmox handle the double NAT?
What will be needed to have access to the network from the outside?

Or maybe you recommend some other solutions?

Can you recommend any websites about networks?
