      Hello all, pretty new to pfSense and I just made my first box a few days ago. I have this motherboard https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2V075M model GA-H270N-WIFI which has a built in WIFI card and I can't figure out how to set up wifi on it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :D

        The general recommendation is to use a separate WAP, which you plug into your switch. I can recommend Ubiquity WAP.

          Check with the FreeBSD Hardware Compatibility List if the WiFi card (chipset) is supported at all.
          And yes, general recommendation is to use an external AP.

            Ah, I did do that with an R7800 but I was hoping to see if I could get the inbuilt wifi chip to work for the heck of it. Thanks all :D
