If you could set the LAN your (ISP ?) upstream router to, for example, 192.168.10.1/24 you"ll be ready for an good experience : It will work out of the box.
All you have to to do : reset your pfSense settings (console menu option 4 - or Diagnostics => Factory Defaults) and when it restart, apply the golden rule "Change nothing, except the password". And I mean it : change nothing (this is important).

You'll see : your pfSense router works.
When you change something now, and it 'breaks', just undo what you did and you'll be fine.

Or :
Keep your actual "LAN your (ISP ?) upstream router" settings - 192.168.1.254/24.
On pfSense :
Reset WAN settings, go back to the default DHCP mode. No static settings needed.
LAN interface : do not assign a gateway, keep it empty.
Like this :

And then this :
@boomramada said in Pfsense behind the router but DNS not resolving:

Static Route
Destination network : 192.168.1.254
Gateway : 192.168.100.1

Don't know why you did this. Undo it.
