      I am new to pfSense. I have a computer with two interfaces -- WAN in and LAN out. It is not virtual. The LAN out connects to a switch. I have an Asus Merlin router configured as an Access Point. It connects to the switch through a LAN port. If I connect a computer to one of the router's LAN ports I get a DHCP IP and have internet access. If I connect to the router wirelessly I get a connection -- I can ping the AP and the pfSense interface -- but do not have Internet access. My computer's IP shows in the DHCP Leases in pfSense.

      Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong or what I can do to troubleshoot in order to get wireless internet access?

        Could you provide some more details please?
        What address range is the LAN on pfSense using?
        If you're on Windows, what is the output of ipconfig /all while connected to the WiFi?
        Please post a screenshot of your LAN firewall rules and DHCP leases from pfSense.

          Is that true connected to the router both wired and wireless?

          It sounds like it might be filtered in the Asus router.
