      I am a complete noob to pfsence hardware. Does anyone have a recommendation for wifi access point hardware that is compatible to the netgate sg 1100?

        you mean a similar level of knowledge? (or more)

          Will any wifi access point work with the sg1100? I was looking at other post and it appears that folks use their favorite wifi router in conjunction with the sg 1100? Am I making this too complicated?

            Any lan based wifi access point would do.
            But that would be an external device, not managed by pf.
            Anything else has issues of a kind.

            A modern ap would need to support dual bands (2.4-5G) concurrently or even better a mesh.

              YES...

              I use these (in SOHO):

              or create your own pfSense box with built-in WiFi...
