      Hi Guys,

      I'm thinking about building router & a firewall for my home network based on PfSense with the hardware shown below

      1.Intel Core i3-4150
      2.MSI Z97I AC LGA 1150 Intel Z97

      I want to ask if the motherboard, built in WIFI, and the CPU will be compatible with PFSense

      Thanks.

      Sorry for the bad English.

        Hi there,

        The MoBo you're talking about has Realtek RTL-8111G which works with FreeBSD 8.x,
        although it is not on the supported hardware list (at least not the G version).

        The integrated WiFi controller is AC7260, it is not supported by FreeBSD.

        So to answer your question, this motherboard's LAN will work with pfsense, but its WiFi won't.

        You might want to check the following links:
