      I have a pfSense machine, with 1 WAN and 1 LAN. The LAN is connected to my wireless router. DHCP server is enabled on my pfSense machine and disabled on wireless router. In pfSense machine, I configurated a new interface, OPT1. For LAN I have 192.168.10.1/24 and in OPT1 I have 192.168.20.1/24. How can configure, for guest devices, to receive IP from OPT1, from wireless router. DHCP is enabled on LAN and on OPT1. On LAN is enabled ARP for my devices.

        From your drawing you have nothing connected to opt1 - is this a vlan that sits on the actual physical lan interface?

        Does your wireless router your using as AP support vlans?

              Ok, "virtual" it will be.

                when you say virtual you mean vlan?  Or some virtual interface since pfsense is VM?

                If its a vlan that sits on your physical lan interface.. You need your AP to support vlans if you want to create different wired or wireless connections that are on your opt1 network.

                    Now, I created a new rule in firewall, for OPT1 and I have internet for guests.
                    Thanks for support.
