@stephenw10
I just got mine up and running. I cancelled with the controller and just did the android app configuration. Super Ez.
At least for my case with just one AP

Everything is perfectly setup right now

corrected code:

$cat /usr/local/bin/e3372.sh #/bin/sh echo 'AT^NDISDUP=1,1,"your APN here"' > /dev/cuaU0.1 $chmod +x /usr/local/bin/e3372.sh $cat /usr/local/etc/devd/e3372h.conf #12d1:1506 attach 20 { match "vendor" "0x12d1"; match "product" "0x1506"; action "/usr/local/bin/e3372.sh"; };

Modem should be running 21.x stick firmware, switching to a proper composition prior to use should not harm:

AT^SETPORT="FF;10,12,16"

Depending on the firmware version used the command above could be not available. If switching to PID:1506 is required that could be achieved by using usb_modeswitch, not tested with the above mentioned scripts though.

😁 Yeah, it's definitely not been disabled on some fundamental level!

That's a TP-Link TL-WN7200ND but there is no significant difference between an external USB device like that and one connected via USB on a mPCIe port.
Hard to imagine what might have changed since 2.4.4p1 that could effect this really. I assume the USB device itself doesn't show as disconnecting/reconnecting?

Your show up any different?

An actual access point will generally work much better and can use current wifi tech etc.

I have had some success with a TP-Link tl-wn7200nd. It's a Ralink rt2800 based device. It's only 1x1 though so 150Mbps theoretical max. I've not tested anything newer myself.

Steve

Possibly not and if it does should that really be the target? 😉

You can use internal mPCIe/m.2 modems and they work well enough, I use one here. Whether you would count it as '4G LTE' though..... I get ~40Mbps on good days.

Steve

check this, it's useful if you need a wifi card
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/book/wireless/wireless-hardware.html

thanx wil try this

@stephenw10 Openwrt has inadequate support on Broadcom chip. Partly support 2.4ghz wifi and do not support 5ghz band at all, etc....

Use an Atheros based card for best support out of the box.

Okay 👍 but at first i must change the config permanantly of my Modem

thats the output of usbconf

if i change the config manual from default (config 0) to config 1 i get an ethernet device but no usb ports for ppp etc

In the packet capture do you see fragmented packets?

Do you see larger packets on the wireless intrerface that from wired clients?

Or just any difference there?

Steve

WPA2 is encrypted... I think you need to do some research into the difference between wpa2 psk, and wpa2 enterprise.. All that changes is the auth method... The encryption doesn't change depending on eap you use.

I am not familiar with eap-tls

Then I would not suggest you use it... Its not going to get you anything but a complex setup you do not understand.... You understand that consumer devices normally do not understand methods of wpa2 enterprise..

I suggest you create a secure PSK, and be done with it... Your wireless is now secure.

@JKnott said in Wireless AP with Repeaters and More Wireless APs:

However, according to the OP, several IPs have been assigned to the same MAC, which might not be true

Yeah my mistake. In fact that is what I've seen before, the same MAC used for all IPs coming via the repeater.
Which is what the wikipedia page shows as expected: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_repeater

As I said it's all voodoo! Avoid if possible. 😉

@DelvinGomes said in Default gateway ping high - Please help!:

192.168.0.1

What is that gateway in this context? The pfSense interface IP or something upstream?

What does Status > Gateways show for the ping time.

If you're interesting in minimising latency though you should not be using wifi.

Steve

You might be able to configure the wifi card in the hypervisor and then pass it through to pfSense as Ethernet. I've never tried that but I've seen people do it with other connection types.

@json-paul said in Selective client traffic filtering over Bridged Access Point:

My aim is to setup a bridged wireless access point and to be able to control which clients in the bridge network can access other client machine under the same network.

PfSense does not affect connections between devices on the same network.
