I use FreeBSD on my home server and love it. I'd daily-drive it too, if it had better WiFi support out of the box.

You should try wifibox! It works surprisingly well and is very fast. Basically, it's a tiny linux running inside bhyve doing all the wifi stuff. But 14.0 has many updates to the WiFi so I'm not sure it is even needed anymore.

This is brilliant !

I would also love a similar setup with OpenWRT as it comes with a familiar configuration & UI.
