      Hello all. I have Pfsense 2.5.0 running on a phisical server with 3 ethernet NICs: WAN, LAN and WIFI. WIFI connects to a lan port of an AP tplink. Clients connect to this AP and navegate normally to internet, but once a day they have to reset this AP cause loss visibility his SSID, and I dont know why. A try with 2 more APs, and has the same error. There is not much interference with the 2.4 channel, and must be allways broadcasting his SSID. Any help would do. Regads

        Log back into your AP from a hardwired PC and enable the AP setting to broadcast the SSID?

            That's almost certainly nothing to do with pfSense. Most APs continue broadcasting an SSID whatever is happening upstream of them.
            Some do not but if you're still able to login into it to reboot it that's not the issue.
