If you want a all in one sort of distro that acts as everything… You could look at There are many a thread people asking about this - that is not the intended purpose of pfsense and doing such a thing would be a security issue to your firewall. But not really meant to be your file server as well. Pfsense is a great firewall/router, and you can sure put some other networking/security stuff on it, proxy, ids/ips, vpn. File server, firewall, media server, wifi AP, etc. And I don't even use wifi that much )Įdit: "sata controller to add more hdd's later on" Why would your firewall need more HDD? if what your looking for is all in one box that does everything. Part of the reason going to mount the lite even though don't really need it for coverage.Ĭan tell you one thing, I could never ever in a million years go back to the wifi that is the soho routers. Wanted to play with this stuff and having all the same gen hardware is good idea when playing with this stuff, also more AP you have the better to test the stuff with. This was reason I swapped out for the pro. which they are working on in the new gen models and some beta code you can grab. But also I don't think they ever plan on supporting 802.11v or k or r etc. They pulled it out because it was buggy, they could add it back sometime soon I am sure. Just to be upfront if you were interested in buy the old model is as now they do not have support for band steering or ATF on the older model, they use to have it but current firmware doesn't have it in. Or is just going to sit on my shelf as an emergency spare. Even new screws I didn't need from the pro I just got couple of weeks ago. Have the original box, all the mounting hardware. If you want the old AC model, they still sell it for 300$ I can let you have it for $75 and whatever shipping you want to pay for. Active people on their forums got selected to test them before they shipped them production, etc. I got a free LR and Lite model when they they first released. I have coverage there, but since I have a the lite sitting there I want to mount it. (center of house) I have a lite that I want to mount in the back of the house but just have not gotten around to it as of yet. I have since swapped out the older AC model with the AC Pro model. And my kitchen has much better coverage as well ) Now patio rocking full speed for my internet connection. So I mounted a AC -LR near my patio door. I use to have a old AC model of theirs, while I could get signal everywhere even 5ghz… out on the patio is was a bit weak. Keep in mind that 5ghz does not have the coverage that 2.4 does.
Make sure you mount it where it will best cover your house. Its coverage is going to be way better than any card you stick in a computer you have in some corner.
While I don't know what kind of house you have, or its layout or where your wifi clients are going to be from where you would mount the AC lite.
