      I'm unable to access the web interface after setting up pfsense as an access point. Currently, I have the wifi interface bridged to the lan, and the lan interface set statically at 192.168.3.253. The lan interface is hooked up to a m0n0wall router with an ip of 192.168.3.254. I'm able to connect via wifi from a test laptop & see all the computers over the network, and the gateway on the laptop shows as 192.168.3.254 (the m0n0wall router) when i run ipconfig.

      When I try to access the web interface by going to https://192.168.3.253 or even ping it, there's no reply.

      How do I make it so that I can access the web interface remotely (from wifi)?

      Thanks!

        What is the IP address of the laptop?

        What does laptop shell command tracert 192.168.3.254 show?

            Sorry, typo: I meant to ask: What does laptop shell command tracert 192.168.3.253 show? (How to get from the laptop to pfSense.)

              It shows the same thing as the screenshot above, just with .253 at the end instead of .254. I just rebooted the AP again and now the webconsole is accessible  ???

              Thanks for the help & I'll update this thread if it becomes inaccessible again!
