      Hmm, well that seem like a clue. Perhaps some deprecated cypher is preventing it? I'm not sure how you might change that though. Can you test with anything else? An iOS device perhaps?

        To be honest, it was difficult to get a phone with android 4. I can check on another laptop. iOS probably won't be available.

          Did you try setting 'WPA Pairwise' to TKIP or both instead of AES?

              Thanks friends for trying to help! As a result, I spat and installed another distribution that is not a fork of pfSense and wi-fi works perfectly on all devices. This means that the problem was not with the device, but with pfSense or freebsd itself. It is a pity that it was not possible to make friends with pfsense wi-fi.

                The confirms it's a not a hardware issue at least. Which makes sense since the WPA auth should all be in software.
