      I have the following configuration under PfSense 2.0.1:

      WAN1: Not used until now, will be a static IP address from Wimax connection
      WAN2: ADSL-Router, IP DHCP, 192.168.1.2, Gateway 192.168.1.1, Firewall - default blocking
      LAN: 10.17.60.251, No DHCP, Mask 255.255.255.0, Firewall: Allow *
      WLAN1: 192.168.2.1, DHCP activated, Mask 255.255.255.0, Firewall: Allow *
      WLAN2: 192.168.3.1, DHCP activated, Mask 255.255.255.0, Firewall: Allow * (same wireless card, second AP)

      Internet through WAN2 from LAN, WLAN1 is working.
      Access from LAN to WLAN1  is working.
      Access from WLAN1 to LAN is not working and I don't understand why?

      Actually NAT is set to auto translation. The route list in the status looks correct.

      In the beginning I had the LAN segment at the WAN port and this I could reach from the WLAN port.
      Hopefully anybody can help me…

        normally a firewall rule on the wlan tab with destination any or lan-subnet should work if the default gateway is used.

        be sure you havent specified a specific gateway on the "allow *" rule

          Are you getting internet on WLAN2?

          So on WLAN2, you have created a 2nd AP configured with the 192.168.3.0/24 subnet on the same card for people to connect to? (a network map would be helpful)

          Can you post the routing table on PFsense?

            I use the default gateway already with all set to "*"

              One WLAN should be for internal use and the other one should be later a guest account with internet access only.
              But until now both are full functional with * rules and internet is working for both of them.

              The WAN1 sould be later the main internet connection & WAN2 the backup internet connection. WAN2 i also used later for the guest access. For testing I only have WAN2 connected, because our other router is still active :)
