wifi connectivity and integration

[wbravin]

Hello all

I'm new to OpNsense.

I will use this solution as mu main router and firewall for my home environment

I installed in Proxmox on a dell r720. At the moment OPNsense is not operational because i'm still learning.  i plan to make it my main router and firewall solution by end of August.

In addition to OPNsense the Proxmox on the dell R720 will have as VMs Home Assistant and Tuenas

I need to have wifi functionality for Home Assistant to connect some devices

I currently run an Asus RT 87U as my main router and a DSL AC68U  as a wifi access point

I would also like to turn the RT87U in to an access point in september when i will go live with OPNsense

These 2 access points are connected via wireline to each other at the moment and at a later date to proxmox

My questions:

When i will make OPNsense my main router in September, will i need to add to the proxmox server a USB dongle with a wifi capability?

Or will OPNsense and all other VMs on the same proxmox server will serve wifi access point for for the server?

Or will i need to passthrough the wifi USB to Home Assistant 

Many thank for your patience and help in this matter.

Be all well

Can you create a network diagram of your existing setup and what you would like it to eventually look like?  What you wrote is kind of hard to parse.
