Title: Wireless client, wpa
Post by: nbfedafdf on November 04, 2019, 09:08:53 pm

Why is there no documentation for wireless ? Do you need to install FreeRADIUS plugin to get wireless cards to function in client mode ? Suppose that you have a supported wireless interface (which I don't at the moment), how to test ?

I found this though
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/wireless/wireless-interface-configuration-details.html

Wireless client with AES encryption

Config on the wireless page:

    Set Mode: Infrastructure Set SSID: SSID of AP Enable WPA: Checked Set The PSK: Shared key from AP in ascii Set WPA mode: WPA Set wpa Key Management Mode: Pre Shared Key Set Authentication: Open System Authentication Set WPA Pairwise: AES

    Channel: Use Auto or configure this to match the channel of the AP to which this client will connect.
    Mode: Infrastructure (BSS)
    SSID: The SSID of the AP to which this client will connect.

The following settings must match those found on the AP, but examples are provided:
    Enable WPA: Checked
    WPA Pre-Shared Key: The “password” set on the AP
    WPA mode: WPA2
    WPA Key Management Mode: Pre Shared Key
    Authentication: Open System Authentication

The reason for little documentation on wireless is found in the wireless documentation ;)
