      This is my current setup.

      Surfboard Modem -> pfSense Box (192.168.0.1 || 255.255.255.0/24) -> Archer C9 Router (AP Mode) (192.168.1.1 || 255.255.255.0)

      The router is dual band, but only the 5 GHz band works. The 2.4GHz band won't connect to the pfSense box. Did I do something wrong when I set it up?

      As an aside, is an Archer T9E compatible with pfSense?

      Sorry if i left out any pertinent information, just getting into home networking.

        Create two SSIDs and then please put each in a own VLAN in pfSense and create a own DHCP for each network
        with his own IP range such like this;

        • 2,4GHz - SSID - private24 - 192.168.1.0/24
        • 5,0GHz - SSID - private50 - 192.168.2.0/24
        • 2,4GHz - SSID - guest24 - 192.168.3.0/24
        • 5,0GHz - SSID - guest50 - 192.168.4.0/24

        Activate client isolation and set them up as running in AP mode in pfSense.
