WIFI mini PCI-E cards for J1900 hardware

batcat

Can someone tell me what WIFI cards in mini PCIE format will work with J1900 boxes for pfsense?

I have read some stuff about what chips Pfsense supports but the problem is I need to know which cards are supported for J1900 before ordering.

The WLE200NX is very well supported in pfsense (freebsd 12.2).

Kind regards,

Yes, that's probably the single best supported card in pfSense currently.

It's a 2x2 N card so theoretical 300Mbps. You can get a similar generation 3x3 N Atheros card that will work and give 450Mbps (theoretical connection rate). I had one of those running for some time. I used this but anything AR9380 based should work.

The fact it's in a J1900 system is largely irrelevant.
