      here is I want to know if this is possible.

      my neighbor got an AP broadcasted and it reached my house, I got a spare USB wifi adapter that can plug-in anytime to pfsense box.

      after I plugged-in the USB Adapter into the USB port of pfsense box luckily it was detected, but how can I see it into the webconfigurator? nothing is appearing to the page.

      is it possible to do this kind of setup?

      neighbor AP –> my pfsense box ---> shares the internet?

        But which driver recognised it? If ugen, then its not a supported adapter.
