      I have pfsense setup as my gateway at: 192.168.0.1 then I have a netgear wireless router setup on 192.168.0.5. The netgear is setup with dhcp to hand out ip addresses to wireless clients so the wireless clients use 192.168.1.1 as their gateway. How can I get the two networks to see each other?

        Set your netgear AP into routing mode (NOT NAT mode).
        Also create a static route on the pfSense for the 192.168.1.1/24 subnet pointing to the 192.168.0.5 IP.

        We do what we must, because we can.
