      Hello, I Prayut
      My wireless at home dropped off a lot. I don't know why Open and close several times, it still does not disappear. Thank you for the good answer.

          Hello, I Prayut

          If you're running pfSense 2.4.5-p1 with a wireless card, check freebsd 11.3 hardware compatibility list.
          https://www.freebsd.org/releases/11.3R/hardware.html#wlan

          My memory from hanging out in these forums is that wifi cards are generally are not going to work great with pfSense. I don't know the technical reasons but if I had to take a guess, a wireless card plugged into a PC running pfSense (freebsd) is generally going to be a card meant for a client PC to connect to a wireless access point. Whereas with pfSense, you're asking this client card to BE the access point for potentially many clients. This card's typical job is to handle a single connection, not ten different connections.

          The most common recommendation is to use a dedicated wireless access point connected to pfsense via ethernet. If you have an old wireless router, disable DHCP on it and use the LAN interface on that to connect to pfSense.

          Edit: More information,
