Help Setting up Router on Opt1
-
I followed Youtuber Lawrence Systems's guide all the way till creating a Wide Open Rule on the OPT1 interface, and everything seemed good to go I can see its traffic chart). However, when I try to get my Linksys Velop to install using this port, it keeps claiming there is no Internet. However, I was able to install it on the LAN port during my initial trouble-shooting before I reset the PFSense machine to do the final setup.
I have designated LAN and OPT 1 two different address, enabled DHCP server on OPT1, and added 'Any' Firewall rule to OPT1.
Can someone please tell what am I missing since this is a router and not just a computer?
My Setup
PFSense --> Lan My Main Computer
PFSense--> OPT1 My router which will be handling the Wifi. -
If it helps diagnose anything. I tried a wired connection with another computer to this port, and it's also reporting no internet access. :(
-
Is the Linksys in "Bridge or AP mode"?
Subnets?
-
@chpalmer It will not let me change it till Installed. I will double-check it again and update if I am able to do so.
-
Sorry, I'm a complete noob. Where can I find the subnets?
-
What is your-
WAN address? If this is a public address then state that. But if it is in the 192.168 range print it.
Lan address ?
OPT1 address?

@chpalmer issue seems to have resolved itself after I reset PFSense to factory default, followed the setup, and connected a computer to OPT1 first. After I did all that and connected the router, it picked up the connection.
Wan is public
Lan is 192.168.1.1
Opt1 is 192.168.2.1Thanks for the replies in any case.
