@good4y0u said in Atheros AR9280 Compatibility?: My next plan is to see if I can update the bios, if that fails I might have a dead slot on the board. As Steve say: try that card in a other MoBo (if available). If you have an other mini PCIe-Card, that you know she is working, put her in and see if the system recognize it. So you can see if the slot has a problem. The BIOS is of course a possible culprit (I dont think so). My 2 cents, fireodo

The Compex WLE200NX is a 2x2 miniPCIe card. We used to sell that so I know that works relatively well. Look for that if you really want to use a wifi card in the firewall. To be clear I agree with the others though, you will get better just about everything with a separate access point. Steve

@spacec0boi13579 said in Wireless Stops Working Until Rebooting PFSense: I'm wondering if this is happening when the DHCP lease expires and for some reason the wireless client can't renew the IP address. So check if your wifi device have an IP or can renew it. Is there only one device affected or all? Did you verify that there is not any network access or do you loose internet access? I have my a bridge interface setup to bridge the wireless and LAN interfaces. Did you configure the network settings and DHCP on the bridge or on LAN interface?

Replying to myself for forum benefit .... Issue was the firmware of the modem. Updated and worked straight forward !

@lynx4t I guess it's a bridge to far.

Hi guys, an update: I updated the device to pfSense 2.5.0 and had another drop in connection some days ago.

not able to spot any relevant difference between the successful and unsuccessful attempt, even the assigned IP is the same. To me it seems that the issue seems to be located somewhere else than in WAN connectivity. I'll investigate further...

I ordered a replacement wifi module for the Xbox and I'll see if that is the problem. Nothing else has made a difference. I'll update once I install it. Thanks for all the helpful suggestions.

Upvoted some of your posts, you have a +5 rep now you should be able to post. I have one of those modems but I don't use it because it's always been a bit flaky for me. The modem itself sometimes gets stuck in a boot loop causing it to appear and disappear. If you're not using the ue0 interface I would recommend trying to use an em7305 or em7455 if you can. I'm currently using an em7305 in an SG-3100 here and it's been reliable. Speed is not huge but it's a backup. Steve

I had a similar issue: Dell 9020m with m.2 slot, but needing to use a mpcie. I picked up an Atheros 9280 card and used this adapter in mine: “M.2 (NGFF) Key A/E/A+E to Mini PCI-E Adapter with FFC Cable” https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JFYSNVL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Works perfectly for me (but I had to get creative with mounting it). Of course, an external AP would be less hassle. I am partial to Ruckus APs for their incredible antennas and software. You can find them on eBay.

Yeah you can create whatever sized file you want - this was handy is all ;) windows to create file of specific size you could use fsutil

Yes, that's probably the single best supported card in pfSense currently. It's a 2x2 N card so theoretical 300Mbps. You can get a similar generation 3x3 N Atheros card that will work and give 450Mbps (theoretical connection rate). I had one of those running for some time. I used this but anything AR9380 based should work. The fact it's in a J1900 system is largely irrelevant. Steve

@stephenw10 OK! I'll check these sources. Thank you again!

@netblues ok i do as you say thanks :-)

Infrastructure means client mode. It can connect as a client to some existing access point. That's the only mode the iwm driver supports in pfSense. Steve

@stephenw10, I tried your suggestion when I encounter that issue again.

@x-falko said in Ralink RT3070 refuse to works in my hardware: FADT Mmm, that error does look like a BIOS issue. Might be worth trying a different USB port if you can. One that's on a different bus if possible. Steve

Sounds like you have this all under control :) Let us know how it turns out. Be well!

Not sure what you believe is going to change with how freerad works with 2.5? Simple way to validate - is look at your log, and just sniff. Do you see traffic hitting pfsense from your AP?

I'm in London so signal strength is usually good.
