No LAN Internet Access

ok that makes more sense..

Here is another question, related but not exactly the same. I can open another thread if need be.
I have a old wireless router setup as a wireless AP with DD-WRT connected to the same switch as the Client PC. If I connect to the wifi coming out of it, I cannot access the internet. Any thoughts?

Can you ping the pfsense IP, are you getting dhcp from pfsense?
Common issue have seen when users try and use old routers as AP, is they forget to shut down the dhcpd on the old router and client gets info from that that points to AP IP as gateway and dns. Which no would not work.
To use any old router as AP you connect it to your network using one its lan ports, you put its LAN ip on network you connecting it too and TURN OFF its dhcpd..
If you have done all that make sure you can ping the pfsense IP and getting dhcp from it.. If so dns resolving on the client?

I'm doing some configuration on the pfSense router and changed the subnet. I noticed that I hadn't changed it on the DD-WRT AP. Made the change, just waiting for the old lease to close out.
Used this to setup the DD-WRT AP.
https://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wireless_Access_PointI'll put up a post later today or tomorrow regarding the status.

What subnet you use on pfsense would really have ZERO to do with your AP.. Other than IP you set on its lan to access it..
Not sure what your waiting for lease for? the IP address on the AP should not be dhcp.. It should be static set on the LAN IP…

The laptop I was testing the wireless with was showing a /25 subnet, not the /24 it should be.

Another issue that is happening. I can no longer navigate to www.google.com. I can get to the internet.

I've moved the pfSense box into my network. It is my router now. Working on setting up the wireless AP which didn't have any other issues.
The outstanding issuing I'm coming across now is I cannot get to www.google.com, any ideas?
-
Still configuring the pfSense router a bit. Have the wireless AP working.
My last hold out now is I cannot access www.google.com. No idea why.

Now Google.com appears to be working.
