LAN Cannot Access LAN2 Subnet
-
I have 3 NICs in my pfsense set up, WAN, LAN, LAN2. LAN is 192.168.0.1/24 while LAN2 is 10.0.01/24. The question is, How do I let my LAN Clients Access LAN2 Clients in my firewall? Anyone please help

The default "pass all" rule on LAN will let sessions be started from LAN to LAN2 devices.
To start a session from LAN2 to LAN you have to add a rule on LAN2 to allow traffic source LAN2net, destination LANnet.
Also, from LAN2 you can't browse for file shares/printers on LAN (and vice versa). It is good to have DNS somewhere that has names for local servers/network printers, so people can use the names and they are taken to the IP address. "somewhere" can be the DNS forwarder in pfSense - add host entries there and clients that are using the pfSense as their DNS will get the names. -
So if I fully understand what you're saying that means by default I can access clients on LAN2 from LAN. I'm trying to ping a LAN2 Client PC from LAN but I get no replies.

Make sure the computer on LAN2:
a) does not have a firewall that blocks ICMP/ping (this is usually the problem when using ping to a Windows client)
b) the client on LAN2 is using pfSense as its gateway (that should be correct if it gets DHCP from pfSense) -
I think letter "a" is the answer. Basically what im trying to do is Im trying to access an AP(10.0.0.91) in my LAN2 Subnet (10.0.0.1/24) from my LAN Subnet (192.168.0.1). I configured a firewall rule in may LAN2;
Action: Pass
Interface: LAN2
Protocol: ANY
Source: 10.0.0.91
Destination: 192.168.0.3Other Options: default.
But Still I cant access its web configuration. Help PLease
