ok, rookie mistake…i got it.
here is how it was setup before i tried to mess with pfsense
internet------isp gateway------router(LAN-192.168.1.1 WAN-173.xxx.xxx.33)---------(wifi router in my office- 192.168.2.1)
this is how it was setup once i decided to mess with pfsense
internet------isp gateway------router(192.168.1.1 WAN-173.xxx.xxx.33)--------------WAN nic of pfsense 173.xxx.xxx.41
this is how it is connected now (i forgot about the first router)
internet------isp gateway-------------------------WAN nic of pfsense 173.xxx.xxx.41
sometimes it is easy to miss the easy problems.
