      Hi,

      I have an Aztech router connected to 3G USB modem with:
      IP: 192.168.1.100

      and ALIX pfSense with:
      LAN1 IP: 192.168.1.1
      WAN: DHCP
      Note: DHCP enabled for LAN1

      My laptop can not connect to internet when i plug the LAN cable to LAN1. Anyone have any idea?

        I'd guess that you end up with the pfSense WAN interface and the LAN interface on the same subnet (192.168.1.0/24) which is an invalid configuration.

        If that is the case it might be easiest to change the pfSense LAN interface to (say) 192.168.8.1/24 and adjust the DHCP range accordingly.
