            Sounds like all the clients are behind a NAT device, so they all appear as the same device to captive portal.

              Hi,

              The question is ?

              Every device should login seperately within my wifi router because they have different ip addresses

                  You should have a discussion with your AP  :D
                  It behaving like a router now. It shouldn't.
                  What also often happens if the AP has a "WAN" network plug : it's been hooked up to pfSense with this port. That's very wrong. Use a normal 'switched' port (there are normally a couple of them on the AP).
                  You should also switch off DHCP server in the AP.
                  It should behave like a transparent device for communication.
