      thanks for reply…
      I do not want to use DHCP server on OPT1 just want to pass wifi traffic from ap through opt1 with only captive portal. Should I use static ip on opt interface setup? Should I have to do anything into NAT/Rules...etc to pass the wifi traffic?

        I don't know your subnet mask from the APs but it shouldn't be 10.10.10/24 since your WAN already uses that subnet.

        U should use another subnet.

          And how should these AP-Portal-Wifi visitors obtain an IP ?
          The portal can't work without a ststic IP, and its own DHCP server.

          Btw : your wan is 10.10.10/24 - change your OPT1 interface to 192.168.1.0/24

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??

              Thanks for reply Gertjan..

              From main router

              The portal can't work without a ststic IP, and its own DHCP server.
              Thanks. I was not aware of this!!

              Btw : your wan is 10.10.10/24 - change your OPT1 interface to 192.168.1.0/24
              I donot want to do double net.  Got it I have to do double net. or remove existing router and use pf as main router, set Opt to 10.10.10.0/24  and all ap to this subnet then turn on captive portal…

                  Why not just renumber the OPT1 network?

                  DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

                      Yes sir….The portal can't work without a ststic IP, and its own DHCP server.

                        Check:
                        Your LAN interface : 192.168.1.0/24 - ok, that the one by default. The LAN interface can have a DHCP server instance, or not.
                        So, make interface OPT1 (the portal interface) : 192.168.2.0/24 - active  a DHCP instance on it - and a DNS resolver. The activate the portal interface - chose a login method - add firewall rules to the OPT1 interface.

                        You can keep the WAN like 10.10.10.0/24

                          If I set opt1 ip to 192.168.2.0/24 and enable opt1 dhcp then, in this case I have to change all ap's static ips form 10.10.10.0/24 to 192.168.2.0/24 subnet.

                            Administering a network sometimes involves a little work.
