I was wondering if it would be possible to have a 3rd nic (pcie) that could be use as the apmrnet gateway to hamprnet for my allocation.
USB NIC may be cheaper and more versatile than PCIe when performance is not an issue. AFAIK there's no up-to-date list of supported USB NICs for OpenWRT. But Realtek RTL8153 chipset is known to work well ($10-$15 on Amazon)
Another approach is to use VLANs. This requires a VLAN-capable switch. You can split a "physical" Ethernet interface in several "virtual" networks, each of them appearing as a separate network card with its own IP on your OpenWRT router. On your switch, you can tag (=affect) any Ethernet port to any of your virtual networks. It requires some time and practice to understand how it works, but it's a very versatile solution for managing and isolating several networks. F/ex ,at home, I have 4 VLANs : professional, family, home automation/IOT, HAM
