      So i'm trying to set up my home network into my pfsense box. I will plug all my ethernet connected computers into the switch but I have a wireless computer that needs to connect too. How can I hook it up to the network. I have a Linksys1200ac wifi router but it seemed to give trouble in dhcp off mode, thats why I bought a switch. So has anyone got any ideas? Router to switch; which ports?

        Try to set your linksys internet setting to Bridge Mode and connect a lan port to your switch.

          As always :
          Don't use the yellow port.
          Give it a static IP - point it's gateway to pfSEnse LAN
          Stop DHCP.
          If possible, set it to AP only mode.
          Done.

          No "help me" PM's please. Use the forum, the community will thank you.
          Edit : and where are the logs ??
