[mrbertgh]

captive portal logins in everyboday after first client logins In is successful. So after the desktop logins in, the laptap , the tablet , the phone & the another laptop ,all with different ip addresses logins in . I am using 2.3.1, a fresh install. I have successfully set up pfsense 2.0, but this new version is giving me this challenge. please advice. thanks

The question is ?

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

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.
