@johnpoz I got the new AP after the internal compex card could no longer run without rebooting once it started running full tilt on pfSense. I have the SG-2100 so I also can't see the swap partition without a usb drive set up for swap use. I will research it more however with finals I can't have it reboot right now. Also I remember you were very anti using the built in wifi support with freebsd for pfSense. I loved it. Again, I never got it to max out until I got my new fiber line, after that it would reboot on its own, something is causing kernel panics and rebooting.

@johnpoz It has version 3.6 would that work with the OpenWRT software built for version 2? It looks like the same device
-
@JonathanLee There are hardware changes, its quite possible 3.6 hardware is not supported at this time.. I did a query for 3 and 3.6 and seems people were asking about it.
You would need to check with their forums.
-
https://forum.openwrt.org/t/tl-wa1201-v3-6/197094
Done let's see what they say about the V3.6.
Plus if they have info on turning off cloud calls for US users.
-
@johnpoz I shipped it back so I can get one that will allow me to install OpenWRT on it so I can disable the cloud call outs.

OpenWRT took my Archer A9 from 300mbps to 30mbps it does not fully support 2.4ghz only 5ghz right now for my version

Archer A9
huh - there is no way you were getting 300mbps real world speeds on 2.4.. Just not possible Unless your talking AX 2.4, and then yeah 300 would be possible.. Is your client AX? Other than Iot devices not sure what device these days would be talking on 2.4 to be honest.
300 is possible as a PHY, but its not real world speeds.
Why did you pick up an A9 if your plans were to put openwrt on it, it says right on their page that 2.4 is unsupported on that model.
https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/tp-link/tp-link_archer_a9_v6
Unsupported Functions: WiFi 2.4GHz
Just get a real AP and call it a day.. I show the unifi U6 like for 99$, or the U6+ for 129 which is 4 streams vs 2..
-
@johnpoz it was false advertising they had it as number one for use with OpenWrt. Weird right it works good in WiFi G speeds, the developers want the logs off it, but I set it back to tp link firmware with TFTP already. I am gonna configure it again. OpenWrt is good stuff
Make sure to upvote

I agree - but that hardware that doesn't have 2.4 fully functional in openwrt and you want/need 2.4 kind of makes it not good stuff..
Who advertised as number 1 for openwrt.. openwrt doesn't really make recommendations on hardware to use.. What the hell do you think a company is going to say about their product.. Yeah its number one for "anything" they want to say..
Again - get yourself a real AP not something you have to put 3rd party on to even make it usable and call it a day..
Openwrt is great for if you have some soho wifi router laying around and you want to make actual use of it.. And openwrt will allow it to do xyz, vlans for one is the big one that none of the native firmware supports even when their hardware does..
I rarely have to even think about my APs - they work, I never have to reboot them, the only time I do is when I upgrade their firmware. Really the only time I Play with them is want to try a new feature they implemented - like when you could finally do vlan assigned by radius.. Yeah got it work, and then thought have no actually need for it other than being only to broadcast one ssid and have devices join different vlans.. Its cool and all - but in to be honest not really needed.. My ssids and vlans all ready setup, why complex it up, etc.
I played with the ppsk when they enabled that - again slick.. might be useful.. But then again everything already setup, no reason to complex it up.
If you want to play with openwrt - great more power to you, completely agree its some great stuff. But get some AP to play with it on, get another AP that actually provides your network its wifi..

I have a working zenarmor/sensei netmap setup. It can more than likely block all of that noise. My WAPs do that too if I connect them through a VPN in Windows ICS, but magically stop when connected to pfSense or OPNsense running zenarmor. Not to say they are always working properly, but the tls inspection is great. Zenarmor automatically binds all tls to a single thread. Maybe crowdsec would work great too idk
-
@johnpoz thank you again for the OpenWRT recommendation. It is amazing, I have it running on an Archer C7. Never going back to the stock firmware it is amazing. I am perplexed at how they got that to run on such a small set of code. Just wow!! (I still love my pfSense never leaving it) but I got to tell you OpenWRT can hold its own with the 7000+ packages even my favorite Squid is on it.
