        Your LAN and OPT subnet is identical. In such a scenario you only can use bridgeing, but you can filter that traffic too. Just turn on the filtering bridge at system>advanced and set up appropriate firewallrules.

            Wireless users have to use the OPT1-IP as gateway. Simply set up a DHCP Server for the OPT1 at services>DHCP server, OPT1 tab. Then create a rule at firewall>rules, opt1 similiar to the default pass rule that is already present at firewall>rules, lan.
