      Hello,

      I would like to set up a pfsense in my house.

      I would like to have several access point wifi (private, public, home automation).
      Is it possible to use an antenna on my pfsense to access my different wifi AC?

      thank you in advance

        For WiFi, the best thing is to have separate access points, so that they can be placed where needed. You can buy access points or use "routers" as APs. However, proper access points often support power over Ethernet, so you don't have to worry about having AC nearby.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.
        UniFi AC-Lite access point

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
