      @stephenw10 to be honest I'm not sure I will look through it again and look at the manual that was given as well.

            So actually Comfast CF-EW71 devices?

            Looks like they have some central management. Do you have that?

            If those are v2 hardware it looks like OpenWRT recently added support.

                    @stephenw10 I have saw that controller itself can do pfsense. Because it is basically a computer/router. And I saw it can do that.

                      pfSense is based upon the 'less known' FreeBSD OS (that not MAC OS, neither Windows, neither Linux based).
                      Normally, a firewall router should stay a firewall router and should (edit) not host a game server, file sever, camera server and so on. "For security reasons".

                      Remember : the less tricks, tools, gadgets, stuff you use, the easier it is to maintain the system up and running => Keep It Simple. This will also help you keeping the costs down.

                      Edit : and where are the logs ??

                            So, to be clear, you don't have the central controller for these APs? You only have the options available in the APs directly?
