@provels yeah get that. I might see it more if it was an actual viable solution. But best your going to get is N and when is router in optimal location for Wi-Fi coverage. And more than likely it’s going to be shit for stable - which sometimes you can overlook fast if it’s rock solid.
I just don’t get the point of this - let me see if I can get this crap setup to function??
For a few bucks you could have AC Wi-Fi rock solid stable and able to place the ap where it makes sense vs where my edge router is.
Good luck I guess. Getting say OpenWrt running on some hardware is because we can as well and that would actually have a productive outcome

@johnpoz Why ask why?

That said, I just ordered a Compex WLE600VX in the hope that I live long enough that FreeBSD someday supports AC.
LOL, and I just saw the main thread here is almost 3 years old!

You can search for AR5BXB112 (thanks @stephenw10 ) that is also very good for experiments ...

@johnpoz I do it because it's very educational from a code programing perspective. Plus it works great, the firewall now controls traffic at a more graingular level. I was amazed it worked this well. The GUI has no antenna options anymore fyi, the old PfSense version did.

@provels three years old? It just needed a couple more days/years of programming and configuration to get it to run right.

@fireodo will it run with the AR5BXB112??

Yepp - i have one in a Lab Enclosure (APU2C0 with pfsense+ 23.05.1) and it runs well ...
-
@fireodo I am gonna order one too

@fireodo Thanks, I have one of those (Apple), too! It will come out when the 600 gets here.

Happy testing & experimenting ...

Plus it works great
1 stream N is works great? Let’s just agree we have different standards for great ;)

You're right BUT ... let the people enjoy experimenting - I'm shure they dont use it in professional environment ...

As long as we all replying to an obsolete thread, I suppose threadjacking is OK...
I don't really understand why anyone actually needs more than 640k, JK. Really though, I'm on a 70Mb cable line and most of my internal net is 54Mb wifi or 100Mb wired. I do have a few machines that are hooked together by a gig switch, but my user (me) has no issues. TV takes about 16Mb tops, Internet radio is in the KB range, and how much do I really need to browse and read email? I used to have a 400Mb line and have noticed no difference other than to my checkbook. Who besides a business is using a gig or better line? And i see so much coverage of 2.5Gb. Why? Gamers?
2.5? 10G??? Bragging rights?

It's coming only a couple more items to check off.
You crack me up!
All done except everything! -
@provels I am a gamer, and honestly my 100 Mb/s connection is fine. The vast majority of people would have a really hard justifying an internet connection over 200 Mb/s. Not that I would complain if someone gave me gigabit, but I really don't need it.
