      I'm currently using a DLINK router as a wireless access point to my home LAN. I'm thinking of replacing this with something which offers dual band capability.

      Are there any USB Dual Band Wireless adapters which work well with pfSense, or should I be looking at something like a Ubiquiti access point?

        There you go - you win a cookie ;)  This is or some other true AP should be what your looking for.  Not some usb adapter ;)

            Well what is your budget or what is your needs?  Go with the PRO, if your needing to pinch pennies go for the Lite.  I am assuming you would go AC, if not they do have cheaper N models still.

            https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-ac-pro/

            If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, and budget is not really a concern I would prob go with something from aerohive to be honest..

            http://www.aerohive.com/products/access-points/ap550.html

            But it retails for $1400 vs the unifi ac-pro you can get for $130 ;)
