Hi Patrick
First of all thank you so much for the response. I hope you understand that its all a bit new to me.
What i meant is that i walked all/as much of the steps of configuring the firewall without having the modem installed yet or having it connected to the internet (keeping it offline) since cutting off internet at home for to long of a period might cause a uprising, heavy resistance and protest from kids and wife.
I followed this guide step by step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPP4UE6IuRc&pp=ygUXaG9tZW5ldHdvcmtndXkgb3Buc2Vuc2U%3D
And for the zyxel managed switch this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VHgZg5jFiM&pp=ygUsenl4ZWwgbWFuYWdlZCBzd2l0Y2ggZ3MgMTIwMC04IGNvbmZpZ3VyYXRpb24%3D
I followed it step by step except for the only part i did not do from the start is the PPPoE and ISP credentials part. My thought was that i could do this part last so that i would not lose wifi connection from the ISP router i am connected to now. But this shouldn't be necessary for a valid IP Lease from the Openwrt AP right?
Also what i still don't get is if the switch and AP should be in the same IP range as the modem and Opnsense firwall. Meaning if the modems IP address is lets say 192.168.1.1 the firewall is 192.168.1.2 should the the switch and AP also be at 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.4 or a different 192.168.1. IP?
I did it this way just to not complicate things more than they already are but since the switch recognizes the VLAN TAGs not the IP addresses right?
