Hi!

Thanks for this howto.

To use hostapd with wpa2 (instead of wpa), just replace 'wpa=1' to 'wpa=2'. The 'wpa=3' sets the hostapd to use wpa and wpa2.

Hi guys, are you able to make the same tutorial based on Fedora ?

By: Dustin

Your firewall ruleset got munged when you posted it, the pf table angle brackets are missing in all references to it in the file. Running it will spew an error.

 

Just FYI.

Fixed pf.conf is here router1-pf.conf.j2. Works for me Ansible freebsd-pf .

Hi, thanks for this article. How can I setup my router so that wired and wireless interfaces are on the same network, i.e. 192.168.0.0? It is important to me because I use raspberry pi with osmc as my media center and it's connected by cable to the AP. I also use my android as a remote for osmc and I want those two devices to be on the same network. How do I do that? Do I need to set up some bridge? Will be extremely grateful for any tips.

regards
