How to set up Pfsense as a simple wifi router?
-
Pfsense computer has 2 interfaces:
WAN => bfe0
LAN => rum0LAN also has the IP set, DHCP enabled, etc.
But how do I actually connect, to configure the wifi network, because I don't see any open wifi network or anything?!?!?!?!
Device info in pfsense (as far as I can tell from that DOS interface):
rum0: <ralink 0="" 2="" 802.11="" bg="" wlan,="" class="" 0,="" rev="" 2.0..="" 0.01,="" addr="">on subus3
rum0: MAC/BBP RT2573 (rev 0x2673a), RF RT2528</ralink> -
You will probably have to go into your pfSense box through the WAN interface so you can configure the WiFi parameters on the LAN interface and (possibly) configure a static IP address on the WAN interface and configure a compatible IP address (on the same subnet as the WAN interface.
