Some error disables wired connections

Perhaps stop bridging in the first place? Especially when your wifi is extremely unstable and flooding log with galores of "stuck beacon" errors.

Bridging is the only way I made pfSense work both with LAN and as an AP. However, I've been running this setup for months, and the problems just started after the 2.2.4-upgrade.

Huh???
I had a hard time setting the pfsense-box up, and was happy enough when I finally made wifi and lan work on the same IP-range. So I've used the same setup ever since.
However, back to the problem.. :P -
I don't have this issue but I think I remember having read that you can use a generic AP without having to bridge if you disable DHCP on the AP and then plug one of its LAN connections into one of your pfSense LAN ports.

Alright. I might check it out later.
Does anyone know what the wifi-problem is? the 'ath0: stuck beacon ; resetting (bmiss count 4)' ?

Wi-Fi support in FreeBSD blows chunks when compared with all the decent, low-cost, purpose-built APs on the market these days?

Remembered I had an TP-Link WIFI Router lying around collecting dust. So I plugged it straight into the LAN-interface.
Laptops connects just fine, but Android and Chromecast clients does not work at all. -
Sounds like Wi-Fi just isn't your thing.
(Did you disable the DHCP server on the TP-Link?)
(I said "AP" (Access Point). Not "Router")

Correct. I never had much time fooling around with it. Except once trying to turn a usb-dongle into a AP..after many hours/days of cursing, it worked…but whatever.
Yes, I disabled DHCP. Androids can finally connect. Now it's just the darn Chromecast left. I remember some setting when I had the AP running at the pfsense which made the Chromecast work, can't find it on this cheap TP-Link-thing though.
