As the title suggests, I have this question before I pull the trigger on a RT-AC66U.
Edit: I said VLAN, but as colin pointed out below, I didnt realize i do not need VLANS.
The ultimate goal is such:
Because, In my mind, I was thinking that since I already have an RT-AX88U, I need another router, so I was going to purchase a RT-AC66U, throw merlin on it, and connect the WAN port on the 66U to a switch port on the 88U. Then have the OpenVPN configuration files setup on the 66U (the nitty gritty details are still fuzzy to me, so these are my attempted broad strokes).
Has anyone attempted this? Would this work? I am finding nada on google regarding this question, so I would like to ask this community.
Any advice is appreciated.

The ultimate goal is such:
- OpenVPN specific for one SSID, say guest wifi: All devices connected to this wifi network will egress through OpenVPN
- All other SSID's egress normally through ISP
