      I just installed PFSense a few days ago and I keep having this strange issue where suddenly wireless client access will stop working. If I reboot PFSense, all is well again for 24 hours. Before it seemed like it would sometimes happen after just 2 hours.
      I'm wondering if this is happening when the DHCP lease expires and for some reason the wireless client can't renew the IP address.
      I have my a bridge interface setup to bridge the wireless and LAN interfaces.
      Do I need to tweak some other settings to make this more stable?

        So check if your wifi device have an IP or can renew it.
        Is there only one device affected or all?
        Did you verify that there is not any network access or do you loose internet access?

        I have my a bridge interface setup to bridge the wireless and LAN interfaces.

        Did you configure the network settings and DHCP on the bridge or on LAN interface?
