Hi all, OpenWRT newbie here. I just got a new minipc with Ryzen 5 6650U. I just installed Proxmox and I wqs thinking about replacing my router with a VM. The minipc has got 2xRJ45 2.5Gb Realtek and a Wifi6e m2 card (Mediatek MT7921). Right now my internet connection is a FTTC 50Mb download, 15Mb upload; in less then a month I’ll get FTTH 2500/100. My plan is simple: - disable every function in my router (wifi, dhcp, dns) but keep using it to convert old phone cable to ethernet cable (in the future I’ll use external ONU to convert fiber to ethernet); - install OpenWRT in a VM; - connect the router to one of the two minipc RJ45 (eth0); - connect my devices to the other RJ45 of the minipc (eth1); right now I have only one computer but in the future I’ll use a switch; - create a WLAN to connect the other devices;

Could you please help me with OpenWRT configuration for the above? Could you please help me with passing the right network devices from Proxmox to VM? Is there a way to still access Proxmox web console if OpenWRT VM is down? I’ll always have a spare router as a backup…

Thank you so much for your help!
