No LAN internet

Ok so am I correctly reading that a client on LAN can ping 8.8.8.8 but not 1.1.1.1?
And that when you try to ping 1.1.1.1 you see at the LAN client:
Host(New nexthop: 0.0.0.0) From 192.168.55.1: icmp_seq=34 Redirect Host(New nexthop: 0.0.0.0)That implies you have a routing issue on pfSense. Check the routing table again.

So just to be sure.
If ping 8.8.8.8 from pfsense menu it works. If I use terminal on the same pc with pfsense app open it works. If I ping 1.1.1.1 in terminal on the same pc it shows what I sent.
So what can be wrong with the routing table? How do I check it? What should it show.

Not sure what you mean by 'pfSense app'.
Are both those tests from a command prompt on a PC behind pfSense?
The result fro pinging 1.1.1.1 is pfSense (192.168.55.1) sending an icmp redircet to the PC but it's sending an invalid next hop.
But that implies pfSense has a route to 1.1.1.1 via what it thinks is at 0.0.0.0. And that it thinks the PC is the same subnet as that other router.
Both of those seem unlikely but there's clearly something odd there. Some other device acting as a router? Multiple networks on the PC? -

You may be right. I will disconnect the WiFi extender router in workshop.
It's Saturday morning here so I time to work through this.

Stephen I am not giving up. I have decided to re install pfsense.
As this is a ppoe connection over satellite I have connected the wan successfully.
The LAN connection I will set up direct to the pc rather than through a switch.
Any suggestions on the set up process.

This should be a very basic setup. Nothing special required.
When pings to 1.1.1.1 from the LAN client fail can you ping 1.1.1.1 from pfSense?

Is it advisable to set up DHCP on lan in the installer script ot the web interface?

Sunday success
I re installed pfsense and set up the wan,Lan,route, Lan rules, ppoe set up with the change to latency 200-900. Tested ping 9.9.9.9, 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8 all worked
Eureka !!!!
At last after reboot connected to the internet.
SOLVED
The next step is to set up a WiFi router on the LAN?
Suggestions please.

Hello
I have shutdown and restarted the pfsense. It is working perfectly.
I have an opt1 which is the pc onboard port.
How do I configure this to connect our 16 port tplink switch and 2 other pc as well monitoring devices and 2 other Lan devices
We would like internet access on these.
Where do I find this information

Not a router, a Wifi access point, that device should not do any routing.
Basically : shut down it's DNS and DHCP facilities.
Give it a static IP, like 192.168.15.2 netwrok /24 or 255.255.255.0 (I presume your LAN pfSense IP is 192.168.55.1). Set its gateway to 192.168.55.1, and have the DNS set to 192.168.55.1 also. Done. -
Yes, if your wifi device is a router you should configure it as an access point:

Hello Stephen
All good news! Today started pf sense with the switch first off. Tested it with Lan in port 1 and windows laptop in port 2. All worked well. So I connected our 2 Linux pc to port 3 and 4 and both connected. Both worked and connected.
Next I setup the router as Lan repeater set the WiFi password and all worked perfectly.
Our 3rd pc in the workshop is now connected to the LAN.
I have completed speed tests from each device and it showed to be faster than our previous router connection.Thanks for your help to date

What router? So I can look what that maker means by that - that might be using the mac of the device vs the mac of the client?? You would want to either put in access point mode, or "bridge" mode - or do it manually.

@johnpoz
Yes I set the fritzbox 7590 as a Lan access point.
Working perfectly
