PFSense is the same thing below the hood, but with a web front-end and plugins.
Most off the shelf wireless routers work fine as an access point, but are quite bad as a router. So you can just plug your old wireless router into this thing (with DHCP etc turned off), and your whole setup will be much better.
- anderiv 11y agoI'll echo the pfSense recommendation. One correction, though: pfSense is built upon FreeBSD, not linux.
- bcook 11y agoIPFire is my choice if you prefer Linux.
- deelowe 11y agoI've been running pfsense for over 5 years now and never had an issue. And, it's only getting better. I highly recommend it.
- lightlyused 11y agoI built a lan to wan router where the wan was a wifi link (couldn't run a cable in the building) using pfsense, it works really well.
