      That's more up to your Wi-Fi than pfSense.  pfSense doesn't care if you're wired or wireless.

        could someone teach me how to layout properly my network?

        I'm doing this: ISP(internet) > (built-in lan) > old pc(with pfsense) > (external lan) > wifi-router(with dd-wrt) > laptop

        I set my built-in lan as wan interface and external lan as lan interface

        pfsense has blank lan when I start it up… please help me so that I'll be able to browse its gui and to enable the captive portal

          @Amethz:

          quick question, can I watch cached videos using wifi on pfsense without buffering it or this is applicable only on wired?

          Strange question.
          "Videos"that only work when the connection si wired ?
          So when there is Wifi (radio) or Optical (fibre) in the path, there are problems ?
          Never heard about that one.

          Better stick to 'normal' devices and setup  ;D

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

            Perhaps they need the mighty Denon cable?  :D ;D :D

              it is possible that I'll be the one who will assign voucher codes for pfsense?

                  I'm the one who will generate the voucher codes not the pfsense

                    Not that I know of.  There's crypto involved that has to match up.  Why not let pfSense do it?  You can generate hundreds if not thousands at a time.  Take them, put them in a database, print cards, whatever, and hand them out by whatever means works for you.

                      Our adviser suggested that, so I asked if it's possible… thanks anyway :)

                        I'm planning to install the squid 3, is there any conflict between that and captive portal?.. what other package/s I should install to make my pfsense more useful? TIA

                          "Squid 3": don't know.
                          "squid" was (is ?) breaking the portal - see the many (even more) subjects on this forum.

                            another question, I set the dhcp range on lan to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10
                            why is that some IPs connected to my lan is 192.168.1.100 and up?

                              Another DHCP server (on LAN) ?
                              Static IP setting used by clients ?

                              You saw the pfSense DHCP server logs ?

                                could I specify what's the error on voucher code?..

                                1st: this voucher is being used by other device
                                2nd: invalid voucher code (when they enter a wrong code)
                                3rd: expired voucher (when there's no remaining time left)

                                  See GUI -> Captive portal -> Vouchers
                                  " If the voucher is used again from another computer, the previous session is stopped. "
                                  If some one passes his voucher code to some one else, he will loose the usage of it.
                                  So, don't worry, no one will 'loose' his voucher code.

                                          it should be 1 voucher per 1 device only, do I need to reinstall my pfsense?

                                            Note that 'user name' is the voucher code.
