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.
Install fresh tomato to this and you'll get a much better AP with very good firewall and QOS and traffic inspection. Also good SNMP for monitoring

I already have an opnsense router as firewall, so I don't really need that part. Was just looking to add a WiFi access point.
Haven't heard of freshtomato before but this seems like a nice option. I'll look into it, thx for the suggestion!
