      @nadvig23 LAN has an allow to any rule out of the box. If that was removed then yes a rule is needed for DNS and Internet. All Interfaces have a hidden deny all rule.

      Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
      When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

          If the rules by default :
          Firewall- rules - lan:
          Default allow Lan to any rule

          Will permit to my laptop from the Lan to go out well i can’t go out to internet
          My laptop is 192.168.1.99 with gateway and dns 192.168.1.1
          I have put this Mac addr and ip of this laptop in Dhcp server- static mapping….

            No!

            Source Lan

            I was working on a problem router today that I think has a bad WAN port. I reinstalled, and I had this behavior until I finished the setup wizard. I don't recall having to do that in the past.

            You might reset to factory defaults and start over just to see.

                @nadvig23 you can use any port. On the 2100 the 4 LAN ports are a switch.

                  Or if you want the WIFI AP on a different subnet so you can filter traffic differently you can set on the ports to be a discrete interface:

                    good idea i prefer to have the wifi on another subnet that the local network. i will folow this documentation, thanks! i have netgear wifi router, i will see how to set up this one too (probably that i need to put this one on static ip 192.168.100.1)?

                      The netgear router/ap could pull a lease from pfSense in the new subnet. I would set it to static mapping so it always gets the same IP address if you do. But, yes, setting it statically will also work.

                              That should pass anything but you can see it has not opened any states or passed any traffic on any of those rules.

                              I assume the OPT1 interface is where you have the WIFI connected? And that is using the 192.168.100.1/24 interface address?

                              Do wifi clients pull a dhcp lease in that subnet correctly?

                                  The "yellow" (single) port on the AP Netgear router is a so called WAN port.
                                  You've created a Router (Netgear) after Router ( pfSEnse) setup.
                                  That could be just what you want, but is often totally not understood. (read = you've complicated your live)

                                  What you probably want : using your Netgaer as a "Access Point" only, and not as a router (and not a DNS, not a firewall, not a DHCP server) == just as an AP.

                                  The basic setup for such a device is :

                                  Your pfSense LAN (== OPT1) uses 192.168.100.1 / 24

                                  Set your LAN IP of you Netgate like :
                                  192.168.100.2 /24 (= 255.255.255.0) = =a static IP setup.
                                  Set the Netgear gateway to 192.168.100.1
                                  Set the DNS of Netgear as 192.168.100.1

                                  Disable the DHCP server on Netgaer !

                                  Done.

                                  No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
                                  Edit : and where are the logs ??
