Wireguard interface on dumb AP

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Folks:

I have a functional wireguard on my openwrt firewall. We connect to it using phones after scanning the QR code (the wg interface on the firewall has 4 peers of phone).

At my brothers place in India, I want to install a dumb access point with a SSID of SFO and it will get IP address from the ISP provided router. I can create a wg interface just like the lan interface on this dumb access point and have this wg interface in lan zone for simplicity.

When people connect to SFO ssid which is bridged to lan interface on dumb access point (firewall and dnsmasq disabled), how can they send traffic through wireguard interface.

The idea is that this dumb access point will be only for making a connection to the SF firewall.

I think I have 60-70% idea but dont comprehend how to configure this. Any pointers? I can then experiment.

Thanks.

Create a guest wifi on this BridgeAP and clients connected to this guest wifi will automatically use the WG tunnel

In my notes is a paragraph about setting up a WG client on a BridgedAP maybe it is helpful: WireGuard Client Setup guide
