Each device has its own TLS cert and the free radius validates their mac address before letting them on the network, I’ve covered how to do that here.

PFSense comes with a certificate authority so you can create the client certificates in the UI and you just need your common name to be the same as the username in the free radius configuration, you can do all of this through the UI, super easy.

EAP: WPA2 TLS for phones, laptops, and a printer.

RES: WPA2 with a longish password for phones and laptops.

IoT: WPA2 with a password over 30 characters of random noise.

I wasn’t particularly interested in spending time on it. It is possible to encrypt the traffic over the powerline by pairing the devices but I don’t know how much in the way of security this provides. Passthrough powerline is essential if you only have one socket and other devices need the power. The Flex HD may have been overkill but I do like that even if one wireless device goes down there is another one that can sort of fill its role in the interim.

I like the signal provided by the AP-LR, it isn’t all that overkill given my house is reasonably big and we have a shed in the back garden where my housemates smoke and watch Netflix so it works out well.

I did have one bad update to the device but they fixed it pretty quickly and rolling back required asking for a previous image which sucked but it wasn’t too time-consuming. I’m not a hardware expert so I didn’t try to build my own PFSense which I occasionally feel regret over but the support provided by Netgate is really handy.
