      Hi,

      I've been looking around to find the answer to the following question:

      Is it possible to connect interface WAN to an existing AP, as an client? We have two buildings, and don't want to run a cable from building B to A just so our machines there will get internet access.

      As far as I can see I can see this have been asked before, or at least I haven't been able to find out. Sorry if it have. Thanks

        I'm not sure I understand what you want.  Are you asking: "can I put a wireless card in my pfsense box and use it as the WAN to connect to an existing AP?"  If so, yes.

          Thanks, I dugg a little more and figured out I had to use the Infrastructure setting in the WAN page.
