installing a wifi 6 USB

[wbravin]

Hello all


I have currently installed OPNsens 2.7 1.11 as a VM on Proxmox  on a DELL R710 for home use

I have been learning OPNsense and I added it as a VM on proxmox 7 late last year. As far as i can tell all is working well with no issues. I later added Home Assistant OS as a vm

Now the time has come to make OPNsense my main router for my house.

I would like to add a wifi 6 USB and wifi powerline repeaters to this mix.

1) would this be possible/make sense or work?

3) would i need to pass it through from proxmox to OPNsense and Home assistant

2) i see that a version 23.1 is available. however when i go to updates i do not see it available. How do i upgrade to this version ?  I can not see this upgrade ?

Ad 1) Yes, it will. I use RaspAP on a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS VM under Proxmox with an updated 6.2 kernel and a TP-Link AC1300 USB WiFi 6 adapter. https://docs.raspap.com/manual/
Ad 2) Create a bridge between the OPNsense VM LAN interface and the R710 NIC that connects to your powerlines
Ad 3) Update your current version to the highest version in the current branch and connect to the console to upgrade and you'll be offered '23.1' as an upgrade option
