        @kiokoman Yes, the Networks were configured using the VLANs as shown in the screenshot.

          @danzek said in DHCP not working on VLANs:

          The main wireless network (wutangLAN)

          That ain't nothin to F* with...

          Not pfSense related, but in UniFi:
          Make sure DHCP guarding is off on the vlan network
          Make sure the 'block lan to wlan broadcast' is not checked on the wireless network
          Make sure the port profile has the vlans tagged on the ports

            @dotdash thanks! Unfortunately none of these resolved it, either. These were what UniFi support had me do plus create a WLAN group. I appreciate the ideas, though!

              My unifi AP has 2 WIFI's network, GUEST, and WIFI.
              My AP is connected to a SWITCH (not Unifi switch), and this Switch is connected to pfsense.

              WIFI VLAN 10
              GUEST VLAN20

              pfsense side: note that the ports are tagged.

              In the Unifi controller side, I just created the WIFI networks and set VLAN:

              Hope this can help you.

                @mcury how would I tag the ports in pfSense? Note I’m using an SG-1100 and the LAN port goes directly to my UniFi switch, so the main LAN and all VLANs are on the same “port” out of my Netgate device.

                  Check if the SG-1100 has the option Interfaces/Switch/VLANs
                  There, you can create the vlan groups, but I'm not sure if the SG-1100 has this menu.

                  Maybe it's better to wait a more skilled person in SG-1100 to help you.
                  I'm saying that because you may set the wrong things there and lose communication with the Firewall.

                  Edit:

                  Take a look at this:

                      Do a packet capture on the pfSense interface, do you see a request from the client ?

                      If you don't its not a pfSense issue.

                        @dotdash the tagging in pfSense was the issue. I misunderstood how to do this. Thanks!

                          THIS IS NOW SOLVED. The issue was tagging.

                          Inside pfSense I went to Interfaces > Switch > VLANs and added tags for the VLANs on members 0 (default system VLAN) and 2 (LAN) which resolved my issue.

                          Thanks everyone!
