Title: Setup OPNSense as Wifi client
Post by: moumou85 on April 01, 2018, 10:18:49 am: Hi,
trying to setup my opnsense as a wifi client to add a failover wan interface. My wifi card is detected (ral0_wlan1) but opnsense only propose me to choose between ad hoc, infrastructure or AP mode. Don't know how to choose a client mode ???.
Can you please help me ?

I found this for pfsense: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/wireless/wireless-wan.html

But i don't get it to work on OPNsense right now. I can see the wireless networks (ssid) in my neighbourhood into OPNsense gui. But how i geht teh connection to my favorite wifi network!?

Dirk

I only get a connection into a open wifi network. :( As soon as i enable encryption at the AP i can't get a connection anymore. It is equal if the encryption set to WPA or WPA2.

Yes, you're right! ::)
I'll do the same with x86 hw and supported image until the next days. I'll use the same ralink wifi stick for testing. We'll see if this a problem of the arm image.
