      wireless router:
      255.255.255.0
      192.168.1.1

      wan configurations
      192.168.1.108
      192.168.1.1
      lan configurations
      5.5.5.1
      255.255.255.0

      my lan 5.5.5.1 clients cannot access the internet

      the pfsense router can ping anything wan or lan so the wireless connection is a good one

      other wireless clients 192.168.1.145 can ping 192.168.1.108

      is their maybe something i missed that is standard i am kinda new?

        Sounds like a NAT or firewallrule issue to me. Anything special configured?

            FYI: use inhouse adresses on lan. 5.5.5.1 is not a innhouse address.
            These are:

            10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255
            172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255
            192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255

            -lsf

              another problem might be:
              Interfaces –> WAN --> Block private networks

              When set, this option blocks traffic from IP addresses that are reserved for private
              networks as per RFC 1918 (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16) as well as loopback addresses
              (127/8). You should generally leave this option turned on, unless your WAN network
              lies in such a private address space, too.

              since your WAN lies in such a private address range you have to uncheck this checkbox

              We do what we must, because we can.
