Omada Setup with ExpressVPN Router
I just installed an Omada setup in my house with the following hardware and connected in the following order.
WAN -> ER605 -> Switch -> EAPs -> Hardwired Connections
I have a Linksys WRT3200ACM router with VPN Express installed on it that I would also like to run in this setup. Can anyone help me in my configuration? I've tried connecting the setup in the following orders but each time the ER605 disconnects from the setup. The goal is to have most of the traffic on the home network run through this VPN to encrypt the traffic. ExpressVPN offers split tunneling which I would like to keep intact if possible. The ExpressVPN firmware has no means of turning off DHCP that I am able to find. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Tried so far.
WAN -> ER605 -> WRT3200ACM (LAN Port) -> Switch
WAN -> ER605 -> WRT3200ACM (WAN Port) -> Switch

@btx Here are the setting you asked for, if I am missing anything let me know. The router works on its own, just trying to integrate it into Omada is the issue.

@btx Here is my LAN setup in Omada. This is the only thing I changed.

@Hartman9 from screenshots there are few notes:
1. Do not delegate ipv6
2. As you want it all to be in one subnet, you actually could add wg to lan zone too, this will make your local network accessable without additional settungs, but as you use commercial vpn, it is ok to have own zone.
3. You did not enable masquerading on lan, why not?
4. In your settings we cant see dhcp, it is better if you use openwrt as dhcp and dns server, omada offers no dns server, to set it properly use 3,192.168.1.1 for gateway, 6,192.168.1.1,192.168.2.1,.... for dns, if you need other dhcp options like omada controller, just add them, check the number in omada controller, I dont remember it out of blue.
5. There is no info about your routes, your wg interface seems disconnected, how does your vpn zone reach wan?
Probably easiest and quickest for testing would be simply adding wireguard interface to lan zone, then restrict it according to your needs.
@btx Let me try and take these one at a time so I can fully understand.
1. Just delete any ipv6 setting from the OpenWRT lan settings? I didn't set anything so this must have been generated.
2. WG is in the lan zone, it's just called VPN
3. The tutorial I followed only had me enable masquerading on the wan and vpn zones. I did try enabling it before reaching out to you and it did nothing.
4. So you are saying to turn on DHCP in OpenWRT? Will the VLANs I have set in Omada still work? I know the VLANs in Omada have the DHCP option. I don't understand what is meant by this "3,192.168.1.1 for gateway, 6,192.168.1.1,192.168.2.1,.... for dns".
5. I didn't set up any special routes. The VPN shows as disconnected because I took the screenshots while only connected to the router LAN and no WAN. The VPN does work but I had to revert my network back to full working condition for the family.

@btx Here are what the options look like. Option 138 is there I am not sure about option 3 or 6 if that is what you are refering to with 3,192.168.0.1 and 6,192.168.0.1?
