Help With seting up Wifi
-
Hello World
I need help i was trying to set up my pfsense to get wifi but it just wont go.
I have a Ucopia box that i bought online .
it has 2 lan ports and a pci-e card for wifi.
I get the wifi to work by enabling interface but my cellphone says getting ip address and then it refuses conection.
Did try static ip , dhpc assigned ip , none option still no go
I did make a bridge and enabled it but still no go .
Thanks for your help

So does a wired connection work?
Did you enable dhcp server on this interface, what IP did you give it. Did you create any firewall rules?
If you set static - what did you set on your wifi?
What is your lan IP, what is your wifi IP? Masks?

Yes works fine
Did you enable dhcp server on this interface, what IP did you give it. Did you create any firewall rules?

192.168.2.80 /32
How would that work?? that is not a network that is just a single host address. You prob want that to be /24
why would you be blocking bogon?
And you only want clients on your wifi opt1 network to be able to talk ONLY to the pfsense LAN address? 192.168.1.?/24 I am guessing. Nothing else and only TCP.. So can not even ask for dns which is udp.

I want it to work as a normal router .
Why 192.168.2.80 /32
** 32 was default what pf gave me**
why would you be blocking bogon?
Saw it on youtube setup ??

"After all i did it it was a bug not me ."
Huh?? Tell you for sure /32 is not a bug.. What should it default too.. it defaults to the default in the drop down list.. You as the person setting up a firewall should understand what mask you should set ;)
And it sure and the hell does not set bogon to be blocked on your lan interface out of the box… So you clearly set that.. So how is that a bug?

What did you do to help get this up and running? I have an SG-2220 running newest FW, with wireless installed from pfsense store. They now don't support it supposedly. I can connect to the wireless interface, I can access gui of box, I cannot connect to the web. I have changed every setting I can think of here and rebooted, still no access to web… Hovering mouse over wireless icon shows internet access, but no surf, only access limited to the SG-2220.
I am new at using pFSense equipment, so please talk to me like I'm 12...scratch that, make it easy, talk to me like I'm 5.
I have a temporary setup that will change as soon as I get this thing configured properly.
I have cable modem, going to a netgear nighthawk 8000(will be removed later) The Netgear hands out DHCP to the pfsense box WAN, I can connect via ethernet cable to LAN side and surf, when connecting via wireless, no surf but access to the box. What and where can I input the config here to get help TS this thing?Name pfSenseCapri.localdomain

I don't know what I did, but I changed a couple DNS settings, rebooted and it's working… , weird, I have had this configured e3xactly like this 3 or 4 times already and it wouldn't work, so, maybe just the reboot did it??

"I don't know what I did"
Completely agree there. You not knowing what you did is not a bug that is for sure ;)
