If you register one device and then everything can connect the wireless device is likely hiding the real MAC addresses because it's still running as a router.
You need to configure it as a layer 2 device so pfSense can see the real WiFi clients directly. So either set it in AP mode or just connect to it internally and disable all it's router features.

Something that will work and help, you understand :
Don't use an AP, don't use wifi.
Hook up a 'dumb' switch (the very cheap ones) to the portal interface.
Now, hook up a PC to this witch using a cable.You'll see that :
The PC obtains a DHCP lease from pfSense.
The captive portal works, you see the login page.
Now hook up another PC or any other device, as long as it is using a cable.
It also gets a DHCP from pfSense - as you can see under Status > DHCP Leases and Status System Logs DHCP and you'll see the portal login page again.
When logged in, you'll see a second portal showing up on the dashboard :
Everything works, as you doing only the so called Level 2 Ethernet.
Adding a router device mans : you're adding Level 3 Ethernet (L3 is called routing).
Normally, you don't put a router after a router. This is especially true for a captive portal network. -
@Gertjan I want to start up for little business to generate my tuition.meaning I will connect more users via APs. So can u make me a video how to set the ips for both APs and routers please. Thanks
-
A video ?
No, sorry, you have to learn thing by finding out how your AP work. I don't have your devices.
And the two images I posted above are all there is.
Or go easy yourself and get your hands on some real APs. -
@Gertjan alright I will find out. Thou thanks for the help u had given me. Have a good day
