      WAN –- pfsense --- LAN --- AP

      I have a very strange problem. When i try to access to AP from wan to lan its not working. Firewalls on AP's are disabled 80,443,23,8080 ports are open. Nat rules are 100% good i've done them before. When i try to access to AP from pfsense (console) it works but when i try to access from WAN there is no response. Tryed with tcpdump to sniff wan and lan side. WAN side is ok but LAN didnt get any package. Also strange problem is when i put my pc on wifi (pool is from 192.168.1.100 - 199) i can do remote from wan to lan which means that  NAT and FW rules are wokring. But, when i try to give my pc static adress which is not in the pool i cant access to my pc remotely. AP's are in the same subnet as LAN. AP's are configured as layer 2 and dhcp is disabled on them. (When i say AP's i mean on precombined routers).

      Question is why i can access to devices which are in the dhcp pool for wireless from wan and can't access to devices which are not in the pool.

        i think in this matter you need to check the gateway if it configured corretly,
        i remeber having the same issue but figured out was the wrong Gateway.

          Im thinking that captive portal is blockig port forwarding. Because all coputers which are conected on wifi have their mac address in captive portal and with them i dont have a problem with port forward, but everything taht is in below the dhcp pool its not working when i try to port forward to it. I've tryed to add ip address of ap's in allowed ips in captive portal and their mac addresses of aps also in captive portal and no luck. I've checked gateways and seems ok. Any ideas guys?
