      Hi,

      New to pfSense. Have set up APU2 with the following:

      Connected WAN via static IP to exiting router - works OK - temp solution though.
      Set up PIA OpenVPN - works fine.
      Set up VPN bypass for ROKU - works fine.

      Can't get the wireless card to work. I have set  aut0 as the WLAN interface with:

      Enabled
      IP Config type - NONE
      Mode - Access Point
      WPA - Enabled
      SSID - pfsense
      WPA password and various other gubbins set.

      I have also created a bridge between LAN and WLAN.

      Wireless devices connect to the pfsense access point but complain about no Internet.

      I have tried lots of things including pass rules on WLAN to allow all traffic through. I have also tried giving WLAN a static IP on a different subnet and enabling DHCP on WLAN

      Help, BM

      EDIT:

      I changed:

      System > Advanced > System Tunables

      These must be changed from the default:

      net.link.bridge.pfil_member = 0

      net.link.bridge.pfil_bridge = 1

      Now I don't get no internet but using the browser just times out.

      EDIT2:

      I have gone back to the static IP config on WLAN. Looking at my Windows box on wifi I can see that DHCP is working but I am not getting a DNS server.

      EDIT 3:

      I realised that as I have Manual Outbound NAT rule generation I was missing mappings for WLAN but after adding these it still did not work. In windows I see the DNS server is 192.168.0.1 (WLAN subnet).
