That would be great, and if the WAN port becomes a LAN port, even better. I don't see anything about that in the manual, but I'll cross my fingers
You could try OpenWRT
Edit: its not supported. You would need to go buy a device with support.
Worst case I'll just use the 4 LAN ports on the TPLink and leave the WAN on the TPLink unused
How will you get internet?
Modem to WAN port of firewall, LAN port of firewall to wireless router in AP mode, other lan ports to other devices?
It works so long as you're not trying to create separate networks. When/if you decide to start with some vlan madness and such the AP likely won't work for that, unless it's fancy and can do multiple SSID on separate clans, but most WiFi/router combos don't go that far.
Basically the new firewall/router box becomes the boss of everything done ng DHCP, likely DNS relaying, and all the monitoring. Simple and efficient, just wouldn't go hosting public services with the setup since there's no 'DMZ' to keep it separate from you personal devices.
Cool, that's exactly what my plan is currently. I will eventually run all the cables but I want to drop in this firewall and start learning it in the meantime.
I may even go the route of some managed switches and WANs that do support multiple SSIDs on different VLANs, but first I want to get comfortable with my new single network.
another roart of the thread suggested using the Celeron box as an OPNsense router
