General Discussion / Re: Need help with an odd network cofiguration :)

#1 First thing I would do is eliminate the WiFi router between your OPNsense and your modem. OPNsense can handle modems (and VPN), quite well too - and: OPNsense is by fare the more capable firewall than your WiFi plastic box!
=>Why you set your network up in this way? Is the WiFi router in one box with the modem or are they separate boxes? If there are no specific reasons for this setup of yours - eliminate it , please.
#2 O.K. now:
What to do with the WiFi router afterwards? -> Take 1 (bridged) LAN port unbridge it and make it take a separate Network IP address, match the already established IP network of your WiFi plastic box, this is sometimes called a DMZ.
=>This alone would eliminate some error cases, because we would deal with pfSense configurations alone. In anotherv words it would help us help you!
Sincerely chol.
P.S.:
May I ask why you chose such a 'speaking' alias name "pigbait"?
