There have been some changes upstream in FreeBSD that should be of interest here, both in STABLE 14 & 15:

- https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51475 sctp, tcp, udp: improve deferred computation of checksums
- https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51686 vtnet: fix translation between mbuf and virtio flags

[added as this thread is one of the top google searches related to freebsd tcp offload & checksum - I hope that's helpful for somebody]

I'm getting a new router and am going to replace my crappy ISP provided wifi at the same time. This is a typical home office + a few family users usage, spread out across 3 levels. I can get PoE with a bit of difficulty, and have access cables for running cat6 to each level if needed.

Should I go for something like a http://routerboard.com/RBwAPG-5HacT2HnD or http://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/ ?

Alternatively, I can put a mini-PCIe card in this model, and I found a bunch of potential cards that might do. Any recommendations? Here's what I already found:

• https://www.amazon.de/dp/B009VAX8SG/]https://www.amazon.de/dp/B009VAX8SG/
• https://www.amazon.de/Ubiquiti-SR71-Hi-Power-802-11a-miniPCI/dp/B00CWWSW0E looks like a compatible atho device
• https://www.amazon.de/MikroTik-R11e-5HacT-MikroTiK-miniPCI-e-card/dp/B01ADOT49A no idea what chipset
• https://www.amazon.de/Intel-Dual-Band-Wireless-AC-7260/dp/B00N7474CS/ doesn't appear to support HostAP in FreeBSD 11 current though

thanks for any tips.
