      Hello,
      I have two pfsense boxes equiped with two pci wireless cards.
      One box is sitting in location A and the other one is in location B.
      I am trying setup a point to point link by bonding or combining the two links into a single fat wireless data pipe to increase the bandwidth and throughput..
      Can you tell which feature in pfsense can do that ?
      here is a summary of what I am trying to do..

      Office A                                                                        Office B

      Pfsense box  A                                                                        pfsense box B

      (lan)    nic 1 `~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ nic 1 (wan)

      (lan)    nic 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ nic2 (wan)

      Thanks

        Get a fat cable instead of creating bullshit.

          Hey Dok,
          I think I need some pills here…
          That monkeyshit you were referring to had been achieved by some wild bulls called PEPLINK with their bonding technology called SpeedFusion that does WAN bonding, wifi bonding, 3G, 4G, VPN and datacenter to datacenter or branch to branch bonding to achieve higher data transfer bandwidth..
          Below is a link and take some time to read use cases 1 to 6....  8)

          It is a very expensive switch and I was wondering if pfsense has similar features ....

          ;D

            No, it does not have any similar "features". Do yourself a big favour and limit your pfSense efforts to Ethernet. If you want wireless, get a proper HW, not a PCI card. After that, you can either load balance or failover your multiWAN setup. "Single fat wireless data pipe" -> utter BS.
