    Hi,

    I got openvpn setup and working.

    I can ping the pcs without issues. Ip assigned dhcp.

    I cannot ping any of my access points. IP manually set.

    Does anybody have any ideas of what I should be checking first? Do I need to push a route?

      They're on your LAN subnet? Then they're missing a default gateway or have it set wrong.

        Yes they are on the same subnet.  What would be missing the gateway, the access points or a config in pfsense?

            Give us the particulars, so we can help you.  A network map would be helpful.

              I will have to go back on site and verify if i set gateways on the access points.  i will update you after.

                An "access point" doesn't do any routing… it wouldn't need a default gateway.

                So, the question is... are they true "access points" or are they wireless routers?

                  An access point does require a default gateway if you're managing it from off-subnet.
