        I think you meant:

        broadband -> [WAN][nic1]desktop(pfsense)[nic2][LAN] -> wireless router -> (wifi) -> laptop cp etc.

        You would probably want to turn your wireless router into an access point - that is, use the wireless function but not using the routing function.

            I think see what you were saying in your original post.  Do you have NIC2 on the desktop PC connected to the WAN port of the wireless router?

            What model of wireless router are you using?
