Hi

I have a box with an Compex WLE200NX wireless card.
How can I create two SSIDs for an internal and external (guest) wlan?
I found out, I have one interface ath0 and I can create one additional under Interfaces -> Wireless -> Devices which will be ath0_wlan1. A second one is not possible, OPNsense give me the error

Code Select Expand

Error creating interface with mode Infrastructure (BSS). The ath0 interface may not support creating more clones with the selected mode.

Even when ath0_wlan1 is on Access Point Mode.

So after this I could assign ath0 and ath0_wlan1 to an interface - is this correct?

Hi

In the meantime, I tried another iperf tests with two good computers (both i7, 6GB etc. etc.). The results are even better and I got stable 400Mbit/s (Macbook tests were at stable 360) - I could peak to 760Mbit/s when used "-P 2" for two parallel connections in iperf.

CPU is in both cases around 30% and 70% load - the APU.2 BIOS from january is still beta and PC Engines said there should be bit more performance with the final version. :-)

At the moment I have no VPN connection which I could test... I have to wait, when I'm back at work, so I can install the opnsense on a 1 Gbit/s Link.

Hi

I got a APU.2C2 for testing purposes from PC Engines. The hardware specs a really cool:

• GX-412TC quad core
• 2GB
• 3 Intel GigE

But yeah, more details are already here: https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=1556.msg4848

I'm not finished with testing, but at the first tests I "only" got something around 400Mbit/s with classical NAT/firewalling. Tests with iperf3 sometimes reported around 611Mbit/s. But daily examples with ftp or jDownloader gave me good 390-400Mbit/s.

What do you think, is this all what the hardware can throughput? Any other experiences here with the new board?
