Dear All,
I would like to configure opnsense with wireless access point. What are the cards that supported?

Thanks.

The Ubiquiti access points are very good and unobtrusive https://www.ui.com/unifi/unifi-ap/. Consider TP-Link if your budget is restricted: https://www.tp-link.com/uk/home-networking/access-point/?utm_medium=select-local

If you are looking to run a WiFi expansion card in your OPNsense device, the short answer is don't do it. Support for WiFi in FreeBSD is poor and what there is focuses on WiFi client use, not access point provision.

Discrete WiFi access points offer PoE, multi-SSID, wider protocol support and better placement for wider coverage.
