      Hello community and devs,
      i have two pfsense boxes, one of which I have configured only as AP.

      So I have disabled the firewall on this one. But the problem is, when I disable the firewall, my wlan interface is not able to "speak" with the WAN-Interface anymore.

      Do I have to set some routes? I have set some routes but it didn`t work for me.

      So when i disable firewall how do I say, that the wlan interface can go out through the wan interface?

      Thanks

        Yes, you should set up a route to the AP's WLAN subnet on the FW-enabled pfSense, with the GW being the WAN IP of the other pfSense box (AP).
