Wireless card for pfSense

TubsAlwaysWins · March 28, 2016

I am making a pfSense box just for fun and I need it to be wireless. Will a wireless card like the Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I work?

I believe it will, I don't see why it won't. I have a wireless card in my pfSense virtual machine and I use it as a bridge to my external network, I've never had an issue.

It might work, but please bear in mind that pfSense is garbage when it comes to WiFi.

Not only is the support for hardware really hit-and-miss, but support for wireless N is pretty new and sometimes works, and sometimes you will only get wireless G speeds, and as far as I know wireless AC is not supported at all.

Here is the spreadsheet on which cards work and what features that work.
