      Ok so everything I described can be done then?  I guess I just need more patients to debug it because it wasn't working correctly.

          Ok so what am I missing here, when I try to enable DHCP server on OPT1 it says:
          Subnet 
          Subnet mask 0.0.0.0
          Available range 0.0.0.0 - 255.255.255.255

          And won't let me choose a range.  Keeps saying "The specified range lies outside of the current subnet."

          Oh and I'm using 1.0.1

            Your interfaces>opt1 config must be invalid. It calculates the values from what is set there.

              Ok I set it correctly there except after I go to DHCP server->OPT1 it disappears and reverts back the set IP range.

              Heres more details from the interface status page:
              rl1 LAN
              Status  up
              IP address  10.0.100.1 
              Subnet mask 255.255.255.0

              rl0 OPT1
              Status  up
              DHCP up 
              IP address 0.0.0.0 
              Subnet mask 255.0.0.0

                Why did you set opt1 to dhcp? It doesn't get a lease. There doesn'T seem to be a server on that interface.

                  Hm, well that would make sense, now wouldn't it!  Maybe you can append a note to that page, "if you're trying to setup a DHCP server on this interface, select static"

                  I should be good to go after a little more tampering, thanks for all your help.

                    That option is for dhcp client, not as dhcp server  ;)

                      ::)

                      Ok, ran into another snag.  I've got the access point all configured correctly so its on 10.0.200.5, I can access from the LAN it and it passes thru CP, now the next item on the agenda would to make CP work on OPT1.  When I try to access the net from my laptop it says it can't find the server, although its connected properly and has an IP address (10.0.200.244).  I can access the access point config since I setup 10.0.200.50 as an allowed "from" ip in CP.

                      Any ideas?  Its probably something simple I'm just overlooking as I did before  :-X

                      Edit: I can also access the CP page (http://10.0.200.1:8000/) from my LAN.
                      Edit 2: I have a rule for OPT1 also set, from OPT1 subnet to any.

                        Make sure clients at opt1 are using the pfsense opt1 IP as dns.

                          Yep, the access point is configured with dns and gateway of 10.0.200.1, double checked my laptop and it confirms this.

                            Try to delete the allowed IP OPT1 IP. Not sure if this prevents the redirection to the CP page.

                              Hm, ok removed the allowed IP in CP.  Still isn't forwarding to the CP login page.

                              Another note, can't access http://10.0.200.1:8000 from OPT1 but can from the LAN.

                                      Ok another idea, disabled CP and I still can't get out to the internet from OPT1…  I'm close, I can taste it.

                                        Try to reboot, maybe something broke somewhere in between the misconfigurations.

                                          Another question before I do though, what should the gateway be set to on OPT1, the same as the LAN one?

                                          Edit: getting traffic thru OPT1 after the reboot, no gateway set on OPT1 now also.

                                          Edit 2:  ;D yay! its working!!

                                            Yes, you shouldn't have a gateway unless it's an additional WAN.
