UNABLE TO JOIN PFSENSE WIFI NETWORK

@stephenw10
right now i can encrypt only one interface "opt1".
but i need them all secured.
don't you think it is because i am using the old version (pfSense-CE-memstick-2.3.5-RELEASE-i386) ? -
Ah, yes I missed that!
I'm not aware of any issue with the ath driver in pfSense 2.3.5/FreeBSD 10.3 but you should definitely update to 2.4.4p2 64bit. If it is a bug it will not get fixed in 2.3.XSteve

thank you a lot steve. but i still need your help. do you know if it possible to upgrade to 2.4.4 via the interface without using a bootable pen drive ?

You can't upgrade from i386 to amd64 without a reinstall. Read the upgrade guide: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/install/upgrade-guide.html

i have modified the bios boot priority and i have set up a bootable pen drive of the latest version of pfsense but it is not booting on my pc. But it does boot on my laptop. do you have any idea of what could be the problem ? -
If the hardware 64bit?
Try a different USB drive maybe?

Hello,
i tried different usb drives, i also tried installing windows7 32bit just to identify the issue but it didn't work only the 2.3.5-RELEASE-i386 version will load,
i tested the bootable pen drives drive on my laptop and it worked. -
What exactly is the hardware you are trying to install to?

@stephenw10
for real it is an old pc (emachines) -
Ok, well... what CPU does it have? It might be 32bit in which case it will never boot a 64bit image.

AMD Athlon 2.1 GHz, Dual Core
RAM 6Gb DDR2
SSD 120 GB -
If it's an Athlon X2 then I think they were only ever 64bit. But, still, that's >10 years old...
Can you boot the ISO instead? Somthing that old probably has an optical drive.
