The reviews at amazon.com say that this device does not have an RT3070. In fact, almost all of the devices that advertise an RT3070 chipset DO NOT actually have that chipset. You have to dig through the reviews to find somebody that says it really does have an RT3070 before you can believe it.

Thanks! I will look on that link. But also I am looking for the technical set-up I mean the how to's to set up the radius.

can meanwhile recommend the mentioned edimax stick, see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,65227.msg357548.html

Depends on how you are streaming the files.  If you are using some file transfer mechanism on port 80, could be HAPV but more likely snort if its anything at all.

The FreeBSD 802.11 driver page claims that it does support hardware offload for that, but it doesn't give details that I've spotted yet.

It may be supported in 9-stable/10.x but not FreeBSD 8.3, but at the moment the only way to know would be to try.

@Arbiter:

Would you advise two wifi networks, one that has access to the lan, and one that does not?

Yep!  ;D

Check ARP.

@kejianshi:

15?  Well - Then I guess its good thing I didn't tell any bad jokes…

I'm glad its working well.  You can learn alot playing with pfsense.

Even more if you have a friend also using it.  Can practice setting up VPN clients and routes and all sorts of other more corporate stuff.

I already have a VPN on my WHS running (But am looking forward to trying it on pfSense). And if you did tell bad jokes, I've probably heard them before… xD

Uhm… FreeBSD-HEAD for some tiny amount of mostly Atheros chipsets, experimental and incomplete.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer, regarding the runfw_load parameter, I put it but since I forgot to install the 2.1RC, after reboot live cd was loosing it. It is now ok  :)

I have tried with another AP and WEP is associated. But I don't get an IP in DHCP mode, well it is showing an ipv6 in status / interfaces but my AP doesn't support ipv6 so I don't know where it comes from. I have tried with two others USB cards (I have SMC, 3COM and Linksys) but I have same result with all of them. All have a ralink chip.

I have to find another way to connect to my 3G card :(

@stan-qaz:

I'd really lean to external wireless extenders.

I use a 1525 in bridge mode to get my Ethernet to a printer and a backup drive sitting in a spot that it would be hard to get cables to. It runs for months on end with no hassles and recovers from power outages with no problems. Other brands might work better but I got the DAP really cheap.

Thanks for the reply.  I'll check them out if we can't run the new cable right away.

I don't think any of the -N stuff works with FreeBSD. Also would strongly recommend sticking with Atheros. Using this one and it works great as an indoor AP.

IF you use a WNDR3700v1/v2 setup would change with firmware. in the last firmware 1.0.0.36 it moved AP mode uplink from the lan/switch ports to the WAN. This is described on the router AP setup page. however all other documentation on the netgear site shows the uplink on the lan, had me confused for a bit. I will also note at first i could only ping out through this setup had to factory reset it, and then move it to AP mode for it to work.

I hope this helps! first time i have given an answer and not asked a question

I suspect I am not alone in needing more information before I can help.

A god start would be to fill in the blanks: When I attempt to connect a … device running ... software to a ... WiFi Access Point I see ... but I expected to see ... . I am running pfSense build ... .

Yeah, same message.
