      @macaruchi That guide is very old.

      Do you have the DHCP server enabled and configured on the WiFi VLAN?

      Yes

      Is the interface properly tagged in pfSense? on the OpenWRT device? And any switching hardware between the two?
      In pfSense I suppose is the number vlan10 or 10, YES
      Openwrt i have tagged as tutorial says
      No, there is no any hardware between pfsense NIC and NIwifi3 Router

        In your other thread (https://forum.netgate.com/topic/182551/how-to-comunicate-3-nics-with-pfsense?_=1693862281705) we tried hard to find out if your wifi router is configured as a router or as an AP.
        We suggested to configure it as AP, but we are in doubt that you did this.

        It's possible to configure OpenWrt as AP with VLANs. I also run one in AP mode.

          i solved this , I use in AP mode

          Yes, I did
          You 4 modes AP,AD Hoc , Client,WDS for each SSID for my vlan I have AP

            Maybe the AP isn’t configured correctly. Or even the pfSense interface.
            How did you set it up?

                I didn't get my OpenWrt to work with these settings. I think, the tutorial is outdated.

                Try this:

                  Yeah, if you have a device that is using DSA you have to use that method. However illogical it may seem. 😉

                    What is it DSA ? Which method the first I posted or the other ?

                    TIA

                        If your device has been converted to DSA in current OpenWRT you probably need to use that second method. Not all platforms are running DSA though so you'd need to consult the OpenWRT docs.

                          My version is old, 18.12 - 4592, maybe this is the problem

                            Nope, that's before DSA was ever added so no danger there. The tutorial you followed should work.

                            Run a pcap on pfSense on the parent NIC, see what tagged traffic is actually arriving?

                              TIA

                                Yes, with this old version, I'd expect that your tutorial should work.

                                  packet filter in Pfsense doesnt show anything iis like it is not receiving any packet tagged
                                  There is any packet tagged with 10 to this NIC

                                  There is a way to send any packets to this vlan to test the conectivity?

                                    Connected a PC or laptop to the pfSense interface an configure it's network port for this VLAN.
