This box is a replacement for an old Debian AP I set up a few years ago which worked flawlessly but died recently. It did not do any filtering, it was just a bridge between wired and wireless network using hostap and bridge-utils to provide wireless internet access for about a dozen users. Since everybody is talking about pfSense I thought I could give it a try for this setup. > But if your idea is to have a neutral wireless AP, you will want to: > > 1. bridge the WAN and WLAN together. That's what I did. The missing IP address (I still don't know why this is necessary, but nevermind) on the WLAN network was the cause of my trouble.

When time permits I will definitely look into the features pfSense provides to improve the network quality. I'm especially interested in prioritizing skype traffic. That has been the biggest problem in the past. During the peak hours video calls are not possible. Maybe the traffic shaper could be of help. On the other hand I read that skype is very hard to shape. Thank you too for the response.
