      Yeah, that may have well worked before but not after upgrade. (Also completely unclear what you've actually done there.) Simplify the configuration to barebones for troubleshooting!

          Thank you both for your help

          I will try to suspend the rules, or remove them and see if i have access

            IPv4/IPv6 issue? I don't think v6 is enabled by default in release, not sure though.

              Well, I would suggest to flush the traffic shaping down the drain for starters.

              @kejianshi:

              I think doktornotor is right.  Traffic seems to be working and allowed for the most part on both interfaces.  All I can imagine is that your limiter is breaking the AP interface access.

              I tried without rules
              I tried to freeze them
              Or removing them
              Still the same result

              Indeed ipv6 off
              I tried to run it but it requires ipv6
              How do I fill it

                OK - So now I need to ask some dumb questions.

                Have you power-cycled the AP?  What model AP is it?  Are you running squid or snort or any packages?  Which packages?

                  I turned off and turned it on several times during attempts to look at why I do not have access to it

                  I do have a snort and squid
                  The interface with access to ap installed after the installation of packages
                  And there was no problem

                  It works just right

                  level one WBR-3406TX Wireless Broadband NAT Router

                  The only difference I see in Dashboard
                  It is in
                  Services Status
                  Appears apinger Gateway Monitoring Daemon was not in 2.0.3

                    Usually when I see someone troubleshooting a problem with SNORT running I just abandon the thread, however…

                    In services > proxy Server:

                    can you check the box for "Bypass proxy for Private Address Space (RFC 1918) destination" and save.

                    Then can you reboot pfsense and the AP

                    Then try again.

                        I do not think it is blocked
                        Because it worked great before upgrading

                        Could it be because the gateway

                        The new package appears under Services Status

                          Disable snort? Works? Disable both snort and squid? Works? And with that, I'm out of this thread, following the good advice above, essential for mental sanity.

                            This thing is a full-on broadband router - Are you 100% sure your are NOT running any of its many functions that will break its ability to play well with pfsense?

                            Please do me a favor…  Draw me a diagram how this this is connected also.

                              When I changed this router to ap
                              I followed online Guide
                              I canceled the dhcp
                              I canceled the firewall
                              I plugged to the lan port
                              I gave him a fixed address outside the range of dhcp addresses of pfsense

                              The only thing there is a network name ssid
                              And password to the network

                              And again it worked properly for six months
                              Just two days ago after upgraded the pfsense
                              I do not have access to the management interface

                              I have not changed anything there

                              again
                              Thanks for the help

                                OK - I'm going to go ahead and join you in not knowing whats wrong.

                                Is this a stand alone machine?

                                Could you boot this pfsense from livecd with no packages and no rules and try?

                                This way can know if 2.1 works for you but maybe your settings or packages are just screwed up.

                                  I did not understand what it means stand alone machine ?

                                  I will describe what I have

                                  I took a computer without an operating system with nothing
                                  I added three network cards

                                  Downloaded from the website of pfsense
                                  Version 2.0.3 to burn to disc

                                  I turned on the computer and installed the system

                                  Beyond that I do not have much access to this computer
                                  One network card connected to the modem
                                  Second network card is connected to the switch
                                  Third network card connected to AP

                                  I do not have a disk with version 2.1
                                  I'll have to download and burn

                                    I would try it with a livecd.  This way you don't have to go changing settings to experiment to find out if its just the settings or packages.
                                    You can tinker and the changes will not be permanent.

                                      I turned on the system from the disk
                                      I defined the interfaces according to what I wrote earlier

                                      I currently browses through the operating system disk

                                      Still no access

                                        The IPv4/v6 thing is not relevant here. With it enabled by default in the beta and RC images it sometime caused odd connection problems when people had broken IPv6 implenmentations at their ISP or router/AP.

                                        My money is on Snort. Do the Snort get correctly copied across the update? Check the logs, what is being blocked?

                                            Lost that bet then!  ::)

                                            Check the firewall logs anything blocked? You've unchecked 'block private networks'?

                                            Forget accessing the webgui of the AP. Try some basic pinging. Try to ping everything from everything else! Check the logs again.
