      What is your subnet masks with lan and opt3? did you try to bridge those?

        subnet /24 yes tried to bridge and works. would like to keep the wireless separate from (lan if i can)
        once this all works want to filter each interface using squid and squidgaurd or dansgardian 
        so i can can control where kids go

        don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

          Can you change subnet for wireless then if you want to separate it from lan.
          Based on rules there should not be any problems. Can you try with subnet change and inform if this problem still exists

              changed subnet on wifi to 192.168.6.1 amd set dhcp 192.168.6.50 - 75
              net book connects and get ip can't ping any other interface and can't get web
              can ping interface ip of 192.168.6.1 but thats it. so dchp is working but nothing else
              same rules apply

              wifi

              • WIFI net * * * * none   allow clients on AP to access clietns on lan and wan 
                ICMP * * WIFI net * * none   allow ping firewall pfsense_AP

              don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

                but still can't get wifi to get out to internet
                going to set the other interfaces up and see
                thanks for the help seem to be going in the right direction

                don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

                  Can you do tracert from wifi clients to see where it's halting?

                  One place worth to look at is Firewall:NAT and edit there manual outbound nat in use. You should see there automatic rule for lan net, you can add all others there too.

                    ok found the problem had the gateway for the wifi set wrong fixed and working
                    got 4 interfaces working out of 5 got some quirks to iron out but i think i got this figured out (as usual making it more complicated than needed)
                    got another problem trying to get my other opt(subnet172) to go to wan and not any other interface
                    rule for subnet172

                    • SUBNET172 net * WAN address * * none   allow 172 to www

                    should i change wan address wan subnet or?
                    trying to prevent subnet172 access to other interfaces except wan
                    once again thanks getting closer to my goal  ;D ;D

                    don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

                      Easier way: create alias localnets. add every single localnet on that

                      then create two rules:

                      1. block any wifi localnets
                      2. pass any wifi *

                      that should do it

                        that should do it

                        i have 5 interfaces
                        wan
                        lan
                        opt1subnet172
                        opt2kidsSubnet
                        opt3wifi

                        dont understand what you mean
                        i want to block another opt(subnet172) not wifi to all interfaces but wan
                        so if i read what you are showing create a alias and add all subnets include subnet172 and change wifi to subnet172 and this should work

                        don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

                          think i got this do i put the rules under opt(subnet172) or under wan
                          i think this should go under subnet172
                          just making sure thanks!!!

                          don't fix it, if ain't broken !!!

                            Yes but it only to that interface subnet172

                            In pfsense rules are working on ingress. That means, if you add rule to LAN, it doesn't affect to subnet172
