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.

    Intel AX200/210 cards do work on FreeBSD but people are having problems with it in AP mode, even on Linux. I didn’t try, but I planned to do the similar thing on NanoPi R5S with OpenWRT and gave up after the research.

      iirc anything after 802.11ac doesn’t allow AP mode on client devices. Something about not being able to scan for restricted channels in 5/6ghz
