Seconding this, I do the same. It's a terrible sign that it took me longer to figure out how to successfully create VLANs and assign them to SSIDs in OpenWRT, which is a fairly simple concept, than it took me to learn basically anything about OPNSense, a vastly more powerful and complex tool.

I appreciate OpenWRT for giving me FOSS firmware I can slap on my AP, and I certainly don't want to come across as entitled to the free labor of the developers, but it's just objectively not very good from a UI/UX perspective.
