SG-2100-MAX

The only card that I know works is the Compex WLE200NX:

Many cards won't work in the 2100 due to a low level compatibility issue in the PCIe bus.

@stephenw10 thanks for the heads up.

[JonathanLee]

@stephenw10 is it plug and play and I start configuration or does it require fresh firmware after I install it?

[stephenw10]

No need to re-install if you have a compatible card. It will appear as an available parent in the wireless interfaces.

@stephenw10 Thanks

@stephenw10 Thanks, it is up and running, I just have to configure it now.

Check it out.

WLAN!!!

Can I use the LAN's subnet and just change/disable the LAN interface? I only had my AP plugged into it.

That way I can clone the old APs SSID so the clients have no changes needed?

[JonathanLee]

I found how to do it. I just changed the interface assignment for LAN to the card and everything works. I have connections and internet and proxy activity over the WiFi card you recommend thank you.

@stephenw10 thanks

Works great
