        Well… Do you add filter rules?

        Normally, the rules should seem like this:
        Source: Any
        Source port: Any
        Destination : AP1
        Destination port: 80
        Action: Pass

        Hope this helps.

            Is the pfSense the default gateway for your AP?

            Take a look there: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Port_Forward_Troubleshooting
