Why am i not connecting?

I’m coming in late to the conversation, sorry. I would bet that Asus router has an “access point” mode that does all of these steps for you. There might even be instructions in the interface after you login, or online somewhere.
Here you go:
https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/ROG-Rapture-GT-AX11000/HelpDesk_Manual/In the english version, it's on page 59.
After that, all of your setup should just work.

Did you do the things that you've been told to do by me and others? Did you disable the ASUS WAN port and ensure it's unplugged? Did you disable the ASUS DHCP server? Did you plug one of the ASUS LAN ports into your pfSense LAN?
Describe what you've done and what happened. Just complaining "It doesn't work" won't help us help you to get it resolved. Don't be shy on giving details.

how would i connect in access point mode...i dont have no ai meshes ,just a wireless router
do i connect the cable from the router lan port to the pfsense box.
when i tried this it said please plug in a network cable to the wan port..i had no net connection
-
i plugged the lan port on the router to the lan port of pfsense, both worked fine..but there was no net connection as it was saying plug in a network cable
i did not disable the dhcp server on the router..something i will try tonight
-
That's your problem. You want pfSense giving out addresses for its network, not your ASUS giving out who knows what address, mask & gateway.

Oops, I take that page back, sorry. The settings for access point mode look to be on page 111, under operation mode.
Read the setup instructions, and maybe look online to find more instructions. They've got to be there.

now the pfsense box wont pick up an external ip
my box seems temperamental

does anyone have any idea why my pfsense box wont pick up a external ip address from my isp.
all the settings in the console are correct, get from dhcp.
the only thing i can think of is the modem which is a draytek vigor 130
can anyone help
tks in advance

you are jumping from one problem to another and they have zero to do with pfsense, if yesterday was working and today is not, think of what you have done in the meantime and revert it, else reset everything and start over.Don't take it the wrong way but if you are not able to follow simple suggestion as the one given to you by @NogBadTheBad and @KOM you should ask for help to your local shop, it is unlikely that someone here have the same exact modem / pfsense / router combination that you have and that have the will to give you every single step by step instruction on how to do it

I would bounce them all. Bounce the cable mode first. After it comes back up, bounce pfSense. Check to see if it picked up an address.
