      @Antibiotic huh??

      No you wouldn't put some other network as your gateway.. That setting looks correct.. If you can access its web gui and ssh via that 20.11 IP from your other network.. Then you fine - your problem with share access is most likely has mentioned by Steve - discovery doesn't work across subnets.. Just access the share via the IP 20.11 or use the fqdn you have setup that resolves to that 20.11 IP.

            Yes. Though entering the IP there should also work.

            Check the firewall states when you try that. Is the client even trying to connect?

              @Antibiotic fully qualified domain name.. ie what you posted from your AP its fqdn would be rtax86upro.home.arpa.. Be it that resolves on your network? You most likely would of had to have setup the record as a host override in unbound on pfsense or if your using some other dns for your network, etc.

              edit
              Try IP.. unless you had set it up in your dns, its possible that fqdn does not resolve.. If you ping it does it resolve to that 20.11 address?

                  Don't use the specific share.. Just see if you can access to list all shares.

                        Unless you know that FQDN resolves I'd test with the IP directly: \\192.168.20.11

                            @Antibiotic sure not a firewall issue on the AP thingy? Maybe it doesn't like sharing to non local IPs?

                            Or what are your firewall rules on the interface on pfsense where your client is trying to access this 20.11 IP.. maybe your not allowing the smb port, which I would assume would be 445. unless its some really old smb sharing maybe using port 139.

                              Still that exact same error?

                              It would be surprising to me if the AP allows gui access and ssh but not smb. Especially because in a 3rd party firmware like that those issues are usually discovered and fixed.

                              Feels to me more like the client isn't even trying to connect. Hence why I suggested checking the pfSense states when you test. You should see the port 445 states opened on both interfaces.

                                  No. That would create a subnet conflict with 192.168.10.X.

                                      @Antibiotic what exactly are you going to search for.. Per Steves suggestion, I would validate traffic is going to 20.11 when you try and open your share.

                                      You should see your syn being sent, you can easy check via the states table. But you can also just sniff.

                                      When you try and open your share you should see the syn, and syn,ack back.. If you see the syn but no syn,ack then either that thing is not listening on the port your trying to open up to it, or its not sending it back to pfsense or it has a firewall that says hey not going to send this traffic up the stack to the application.

                                          So 3 possibilities:
                                          The client is not even trying to open a connection.
                                          The firewall is blocking the connection.
                                          The client is not using port 445

                                          A packet capture on the client interface would confirm it.

                                          But I'm going to guess the client isn't even trying. That 'network path' error makes it seem like it's trying to connect directly.
