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.
yes do it.
depending on what you get for a wifi card, you might want to virtualize some flavor of linux like openwrt to run the wifi.
bsd (opnsense, pfsense) is notoriously bad for wifi support.
the biggest challenge here is selecting the right wifi hardware imo.
