Anyone using ASUS EA-N66 with pfsense?
-
Hi,
Currently I am running a router with pf 2.0.1 at home without a wireless card, therefore I connected an old router, Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH, in AP mode to allow wireless access.
However, it seems after 2 years of non-stop operation this wireless router is declining in transmission power….......maybe the time to get a replacement.Reading from SmallNetBuilder, the ASUS EA-N66 Dual-Band Wireless-N900 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter looks competent:

Would you suggest if it works with pf in AP mode?
Let me know in case you have other suggestion on this, many thanks ;)Moreover, would you suggest that I should wait for the 802.11ac wireless access point instead? ???
It has been a few months since the ac routers arose, the wireless aps maybe following in a short moment. -

Thanks for your input, ;)
I didn't check but I can expect the rt-n66u to be much more expensive…....it would be the best if I can get the access point to work. ;D -

Was not aware of the EA-N66 until after I purchased the router or I would have considered exactly what you are doing.
