After a hardware upgrade I ended up with a spare mini pc. Noticed these two icons and thought I might be able to use it as a WiFi access point with VLANs using OPNsense.
Is that possible? If so, what do I even need to buy to plug into there?
I don’t need it to do any fancy dhcp, dns or firewall stuff, I just need a WiFi access point with support for VLANs.
You’d probably be a lot better off buying a decent access point (unifi, mikrotik, Aruba instanton).
Are any of those open source? I was hoping to go the open source route
Not really. If that’s a hard requirement, check out what is supported by openwrt or freshtomato.
There was a similar question a few days ago with some points about wifi adapters vs access points brought up.
