        Which is your old router's IP? Check it and change it assigning a fixed IP in the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. You can temporary switch off pfSense and access your old router GUI as you did in the past and configure it.

            Make sure it's outside your pfsense DHCP range so you don't end up with a IP conflict.
