Replacing router with OpenWRT on Proxmox (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Not sure if this 100% goes here but I'm relatively new to the self hosting world. Please advise if this needs to be moved elsewhere and I will.

I recently picked up a beelink mini PC and have been running Proxmox for things like jellyfin, home assistant, etc.

I'm looking to set up OpenWRT and found a helper script that sets up the VM but I'm having issues being able to configure wireless. According to the official docs, wireless is off by default if there are eth ports. When I go to edit it, both in the LuCl and in the /etc/config/wireless file, I hit 2 issues:

  1. The web client doesn't have a wireless option.
  2. There is no wireless file In the config directory.

I tried looking for some solutions online but wasn't sure what was exactly specific for me. I wasn't sure if this was a hardware issue or a Proxmox/OpenWRT config issue. Any advice on this?

Side note: My thoughts were I could use the internal wi-fi adapter for wireless but would I need a USB adapter of some sort for this capability?

Edit: I realized later I left some context off. In case i wasn't clear enough. Sorry. Currently I use a Google nest wifi pro router and was hoping to replace it with OpenWRT for more control/customization.
