Hi Nathaniel,

I think you would be much better off running FreeBSD on a MIPS based =
device. There aren=E2=80=99t 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.
