Using 5G with OPNsense

[Dorthy Kelly]

Hi all,
I posted this earlier in the wrong discussion page I believe, so I am reposting it here, Hopefully someone might be able to help me out!

I am new to this forum and just purchased a new device for running OPNsense with Zenarmor for 400 users.

Does anyone know of any 5G modules which works with OPNsense?

Thanks,
Dorthy

I dug around a bit but couldn't find anything concrete on LTE/5G modem support in FreeBSD.  The link you provided doesn't give a make/model of the modem they are including either that I could find.  Looks like there are various forum posts scattered about the FreeBSD forums about adding LTE/5G modems.  I'd say if you've already bought it, try it and see if OPNsense sees the modem or at least the base OS does then you can build up from there.  I use an external LTE modem, but OPNsense just treats it like any other modem connected via RJ45.
