OpenWRT

Post by William A. Mahaffey III
Is there a *BSD based analog to the OpenWRT project ? M0n0wall is
defunct, pfsense is i386/AMD64 only, found a couple of others, but
nothing promising .... Any clues for me ? TIA & have a good one.

Try https://pfSense.org or https://opensense.org, pfSense was first,
continuing on after monowall, OPNSense is a fork made from pfSense.

If you want something like monowall, it has been forked and named t1n1wall.

If you just want to install basic freebsd on a wifi router, you should
check this out:

Yeah I found it, not clear if it is still i386/AMD64 only, kinda looks
lie it, I was hoping for something that covered more hardware. Thanks :-).

One problem you will run into with freebsd as a wireless router is wifi
support. It's generally not as good as linux, especially in ap mode which
you will need, and last time I looked there was no hint of AC support. I
maybe out of date on this though. If you just want wired stuff then you
should be fine though.

It's worth pointing out that Atheros has very good AP mode support - I am
running FreeBSD wifi AP as my home router without any difficulties.

The TP-Link WDR3600 works well with FreeBSD.

Atheros chips are actually used fairly frequently.

I may not have been clear. I pointed to that list as a reference for my
assertion that Atheros chips are reasonably common, not as a
recommendation for openwrt.

The freebsd-wifi-build scripts are useful, and the TP-Link WDR3600 is
know to work with FreeBSD.
I’ve got one running FreeBSD myself, and I believe other people have
had similar success with other TP-Link boards.

Good point, I have been to the OpenWRT site & noticed a whole column of
supported Atheros devices, no problema there. Thanks :-).

you might want to look at netbsd, as that has been ported to more
architectures than freebsd, so might be a better choice depending on your
requirements and hardware.
