If you have a WiFi card installed in your Opnsense box please let us know what brand and model it is and its limitations you have encountered. Thanks!

Hi,
i run some wifi card's with Atheros AR 9280 chipsets (AzureWave AW-NE772). They work in 802.11n and 802.11an mode.
Also multi wifi clones are working.
Limits are the poor wifi coverage in 2.4/5Ghz. An AP running the same antennas has much more coverage than the internal  cards.  :-[
So I've changend to an external AP.

best regards
Dirk
