      Howdy ive looked and looked for days! I can't find any info on how to do this. I'm trying to set pfsense to connect to a Wifi Connection.

      Ive been thought loads of options and I just can't seem to get it to connect.

      Below is screenshots from my settings and someone please help me this is really hard to understand.

                    Sorry i don't have that "model" of wireless adapter

                    I only have an old Tenda W311U  to test… and it had worked OK when i tested (some time ago)..

                    One difference i have noticed is i have used (as suggested by the link to the DOC)

                    "Authentication: Open System Authentication"  (instead of "Shared KeyAuthentication)
