input wanted regarding choice of hw for home wireless ap

[Bas Vermin]

Hi Nathaniel,

I think you would be much better off running FreeBSD on a MIPS based device. There aren’t much supported ARM network appliances at the moment.

The setup I have running at home and am really happy with is a Ubiquiti Edgerouter Lite running FreeBSD 10 and one of their access points mounted on the ceiling.

Another option would be a modern consumer router like the TP-Link TL-1043ND v2, which just got support a few months ago (although only -CURRENT).

Please have a look at https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/mips for a list of supported devices and check out the freebsd-mips mailing list.
