        I've never had to adjust my rules to work with the Wii, but then again the only online game I really play is Mario Kart.

        What rules are those? Firewall rules? Port Forwards? Outbound NAT? (if they're outbound NAT, do those also need static port set?)

          I set these up under NAT and they where added to the firewall.  I had problems with my netgear and too other routers and ended up added there based on Sany's recommendation.  From there I reserved the ip in DCHP and it been fin ever since.  The performance is awesome.  I test for two hours after getting pfsesne setup  and had no issues.

            my wii is having issues too!!  i only use mario kart online, and it works, but its tempormental and i loose connection everyonce in a while. i could get 5 minutes, or i could get upwards of 30min uninterupted.

            based on the above post, i portwarded as follows

            WAN  TCP/UDP  28909 - 29921  192.168.0.16(ext.: any) 28909 - 29921 Wii

            192.168.0.16 being the wii (reserved through the pfsense dhcp server) the rule was also auto added to rules when the nat port forward was created.  i have my outbound nat set to manual (to accomadate openvpn) with my lan rule as:

            WAN    192.168.0.0/24  *  *  *  *  *  NO Auto created rule for LAN

            i check with pingtest and get around a 7ms delay with no jitter and no loss.  i have tried plugging the wii directly into my adsl modem, and it worked perfectly with no issue.  i would appreciate any ideas as the portwarded didnt help (or hurt for that matter) anything.

              ive turned on the static port option in the manual nat rules as well, and that doesnt seem to make any difference either
