Hi,=C2=A0 I am using pfsense 2.2.2 at home. I have a computer dedicated to be a home = router which contains a PCI slot wireless adapter with Atheros 9227 chipset= . The model of the wireless adapter is TP-Link TL-WN51ND and it has two ant= ennas. This comply with IEEE 802.11n, and provides wireless speed up to 300= Mbps according to the manufacturer.=C2=A0 This adapter was recognized well by pfsense and I have setup with ease in "= N" using channel 3 - I live in a crowded neighborhood and I saw that nobody= is using channel 3. With this settings the wifi is working fine one or two= days but after that I have to do something like "ifconfig ath0 down | ifco= nfig ath0 up" to work again a couple of days more. The issue is that from m= y laptop or phones I can see my wifi but I cant connect. I also receive a l= ot of "ath0 stuck beacon resetting" messages in pfsense.=C2=A0For a couple = of weeks I changed back to "G" mode to see if its stable and its working pe= rfectly stable with no ath0 stuck beacon messages at all!=C2=A0 I really would like to use in "N" because of greater download speeds but I'= m lazy to go every time in front of the router and type ifconfig ath0 down/= up every time. So please advise me what can I do, or check or setup. Kind regards,
