WiFi access point

dude!!!
You didn't set any network on this dd-wrt interface you created.. So how would anything work???
If your going to use a new pfsense interface.. You have to give it an IP!!! lets make it 192.168.2.1/24
There is NO gateway on this interface.. Its jut another lan interface..
You then need to setup dhcp server on this interface.. Make the pool for example 192.168.2.10 to 250.. This gives you couple of ips to play with on both ends of the range for static or reservations.
Then on dd-wrt give it IP 192.168.2.2, with gateway 192.168.2.1 (pfsense IP in this network)

I'm now able to get a limited connection to my ddwrt router and able to access within the network but still no wifi. I attached my config I think I did everything you said to do? I think I might have done something wrong in the ddwrt dhcp server setup though???
 -
I thank you for all the detailed information you gave me. I'm up and running!!! I just had to reboot the pfsense box. Iv'e been working on this for almost two weeks now. Finally!!!!!!!!!!! ;) I once again thank everyone for being patient and helpful.

Why are blocking bogon on a lan side interface.. How would bogon traffic ever hit that interface???
-
I just did it really for no reason.
-
That is never a good thing on a firewall ;) heheeh
If you worried about traffic hitting that interface that is NOT from that network, the better thing to do would be for the source to be limited to that network.. ie ddwrt network in your case.

Do I really need to download the new update>? I just got this box up and running. I don't want to mess it up like I see some have when updating.

What update are you talking about? Current is 2.3.2-p1, what version are you running? Oh I see from your screenshot.. Yeah you should update!!
Should of really updated when you first installed it before doing anything else ;)
I have been running pfsense for years and years.. I do not recall an issue with any update.. Users that have problems did not read the caveats to the upgrade, were jumping multiple versions, etc.
If your worried, take a backup of your config (which is good to do anyway now and then even if not upgrading). This way if something does go funky on your. Its as simple as reinstall and load your backup config. 5 minutes tops ;)
The p1 update to 2.3.2 has been out for quite some time.. Sept 27.. So your not jumping the gun the minute it came out..
It behooves you to be running current code, especially on security software. Not saying you have to jump the second they come out or anything. If your hesitant on such upgrades then sure give it a day or so, week to see if anyone screaming about something broken.. But this update has been out for quite some time!! I would update to it yes!

My gf is getting a T shirt with this on it to wear. An intelligent man is sometimes forced to be drunk to spend time with his fools. I'm getting one also. 8) We both find it hilarious.

heheeh ;) Fantastic… Love to see a pic when you get them ;)
And yes quite often I need many a drink to not want to reach through screen and strangle some people...
