Title: wireless dropping?
Post by: shtech on February 15, 2018, 09:02:41 pm

I've had opnsense up and running for about a week now. Dell optiplex 980 mid-tower, i5.

Ral chipset PCIE card, detected by installation just fine (18.1).

LAN (em1)       -> v4: 192.168.3.1/24
 OPT1 (em2)      ->
 WAN (em0)       -> v4: X.X.X.X/29
 WIRELESS (ral0_wlan1) ->

Bridge from WLAN to LAN, it's in Access Point mode, pretty much everything is default except the SSID, WPA passphrase, etc.

I've never defined any rules explicitly in the firewall. I'm very much almost a default setup.

What's really the issue now, I've ordered a Blink camera system and it's all wifi. With my phone on the same wifi i keeps having issues sending video, connecting to the blink cloud etc.

Being so new to opnsense, I'm not even sure where to start.

FYI this followed the unit from the version 17.something i started with to the 18.1 i just upgraded too.

I have tried several WiFi cards And they all had issues. Instead of using the internal cards I flashed an old Linksys router with DDWRT firmware and used that as an access point. Since then I do not have wireless issues.
