Title: Device compatibility: USB dual-band Wi-Fi adapter (abgn)
Post by: seangsiri77 on September 02, 2018, 09:51:39 am

Hi! I'm Sam.

I am running OPNsense on a VM on a Linux qemu / KVM host with PCIe through my AR9380 for my wireless craving. I sometimes need to switch to a USB adapter (and go through it) in the future to add a PCIe slot for the GPU (sometimes it may be in the case of NVENC). แทงบอลฟรี (https://www.ufa365.com/แทงบอลฟรี)

1) Am I going to be sure I can refer to the FreeBSD HCL (device compatibility list)?
2) I like to run "dual-band ready", my wireless network provider in both bands (bgn 2.4 and then / 5 gHz) ... What suggestions are there for a USB device that has knowledge?
3) Please do not hesitate to reply, even if you find this content in the near future. I am willing to understand something I may not know. สมัครแทงบอลฟรี (https://www.ufa365.com/แทงบอลฟรี)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AFAIK there is no usb wifi adapter that works with 5Ghz and/or in n-mode with freebsd. AFAIK only 2.4Ghz in g-mode works with some wifi sticks (i.e. RALINK RT2800/3070/5370 Chipsets).
OPNsense and wifi is not a good combination due the bad driver support for wireless devices for freebsd. I suggest you to use an external Acces Point for wifi!

best regards
Dirk

I am with monstermania - for WIFI I'd use an Ubiquiti Unifi UAP-AC Lite...
