I have a t mobile gateway sagemon 5380. I have one hidden ssid so that i can access the gateway without having to physically connect to it. The gateway plugs into a TP-Link Archer A7 v5 which I want to control the wifi, etc. I have two ssids on the Tp link, one for 2.4g and one for 5g. In addition, due to some older components like an older non wifi sec camera dvr i have an unmanaged switch coming that has an ethernet cable from the TP link to the switch that goes to the dvr. Any help appreciated. Im not sure if the settings i did are correct or not. Any way to generate a config file, etc. to have someone take a look at? Thanks!
Here is the config files. etc.

The configuration is a bridged or "dumb" AP. This leaves all of the firewall and routing being done in the gateway box. Is it DSL? When I think T-Mobile I think LTE which is what I use. Does the ISP support IPv6? You may already be using primarily IPv6 without even knowing it since a bridged AP is agnostic to v4 vs v6.
Look at gateway boxes as being only a link to the Internet and move all the routing and firewall into your OpenWrt router. You may want to consider improvements like a separate network for the cameras and DVR which can't reach the Internet or your other devices, and a VPN which would allow you and only you to reach the cameras and DVR from the Internet when you are away from home.
Its a 5g cell gateway box from tmobile. The camera has an app that allows me to remote view and notified which is what I want, via the internet. I dont know about the IPv6 as the tmobile admin is crap, basically just lets you add ssid's and thats it.. So anyway to improve things or should i change anything? Trying to make this as clean as possible without issues regarding addressing etc. Thx
Staying within a bridged design, you should still make the following changes:
- Shut down the dhcp server on lan. The T-Mobile box is serving DHCP. Some guides say to disable the whole
dnsmasqservice, but I don't recommend that as you may want it for something else later. Change the lan section in /etc/config/dhcp to have an 'ignore 1' option and 'dhcpv4 disabled' - Set legacy_rates 0 on the 2.4 GHz radio. This can decrease your absolute maximum radio range some but it will improve performance for everyone who is close to the router. Install additional APs if very wide coverage is needed.
- 40 MHz on 2.4 only works if you have absolutely no neighbors on wifi. Set to HT20 in all other cases.
- You can move the blue WAN port (switch port 1) into the lan switch-vlan to have another usable Ethernet port in the bridge.
