A lot of users?

Users don't see each other > 'client isolation' in the APs.
Users don't see the firewall > firewall rules in pfSense.

@stephenw10 Theses Ap are cheap chineses AP. they can see each other and no option to stop that as the firmware is limited. that is why they are cheap chinese AP.
As far as the not seeing the router I will look into that. Thank you.
-
Hmm, I would double check that. It might be renamed something by their firmware but I've never seen an AP that didn't have that option. It's a low level hardware setting that is present in everything.
Or you might be able to flash them with a 3rd party firmware that does expose it like OpenWRT.
-
@stephenw10 to be honest I'm not sure I will look through it again and look at the manual that was given as well.
-
What APs are they specifically?
-
@stephenw10 I didn’t buy them. They was giving to me by a friend of mine. They look like they have custom firmware on them. I looked them up and found them on made in china website. link text

So actually Comfast CF-EW71 devices?
Looks like they have some central management. Do you have that?
If those are v2 hardware it looks like OpenWRT recently added support.

May I suggest a Mikrotik AP device!

@NollipfSense No money ot buy anything.

@stephenw10 I have saw that controller itself can do pfsense. Because it is basically a computer/router. And I saw it can do that.

pfSense is based upon the 'less known' FreeBSD OS (that not MAC OS, neither Windows, neither Linux based).
Normally, a firewall router should stay a firewall router and should (edit) not host a game server, file sever, camera server and so on. "For security reasons".Remember : the less tricks, tools, gadgets, stuff you use, the easier it is to maintain the system up and running => Keep It Simple. This will also help you keeping the costs down.

and should host also a a game server
did you mean to write: " and should <not> host also a a game server..."?
-
euh, yeah right, corrected, thanks.
-
So, to be clear, you don't have the central controller for these APs? You only have the options available in the APs directly?
