      Hello,
      I have a question about my netgate 1100 router. I'd like to use my usb wireless to connect to another wireless router to experiment with.
      So far I can connect to the other wireless router ok in infrastructure mode. My problem is id like to route my lan traffic through the wifi usb to the other wifeless router out to the wan. But Im not sure of the configuration I need. So far I changer the wifi interface to the WAN interface on the netgate router but no luck. I made sure all my firewall configs are ok... Anyone got any ideas?

        @manueljoao does Diagnostics > Ping work on that interface? I’d start there. What doesn’t work specifically?

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          It should just be like a 2nd WAN interface.

          Is there a subnet conflict maybe?

            To clarify my problem better, I would like to route my traffic from the netgate router over the wireless interface in infrastructure mode to another wireless router.

              Yes, so the WiFi connection should behave like a second WAN. You should see a gateway for it, added automatically if it's dhcp. Set that as the default gateway in Sys > Routing > Gateways and it should send all traffic that way.
