      So, I will try and make this short and sweet. Clients that join AP's connected to the main wifi router can't load webpages or access beyond the wifi router itself.

      I have been working through the war of getting multiple XBoxes to connect to XBox Live and I have managed to get it working to the point where they do and they both get Open NAT while connected, using wired networking.

      However, I need it to be wireless. Any device that acts as a pass-through to the LAN from WLAN fails to get beyond the router.

      Here is my set up:

      Pfsense 2.1

      WAN - DHCP to Comcast, I am getting both IPv4 and IPv6 Service addresses
      LAN - Static 192.168.x.8 -

      • Serves DHCP 192.168.x.120-145

      • DNS Forwarder

      • Snort is running

      • LAN traffic is running fine

      • UPNP is working beautifully (for now)

      The LAN NIC is connected to a switch, which the AP is plugged into.

      Wifi - Static 192.168.x.1 - WZR-600DHP running DD-WRT v24SP2-MULTI (11/04/12) std - build 20180 (Latest flash of Buffalo's version of DD-WRT )

      • DHCP is off

      • Unit is set as router, not gateway

      • DHCP Forwarding to 192.168.x.8

      • Routing turned off

      • Wired/connected to GB Switch via LAN port. All services work correctly for directly associated clients.

      When using a gaming adapter (TEW-647 GA) connected to my laptop, I can not get out of the router. I get correct DHCP, DNS servers and gateway address, but it won't actually connect to anything beyond the WIFI router it's connected to. Same thing happens when I boot up a repeater bridge (E3000 DDWRT). Anything I plug into it won't get beyond the router.

      It's take a couple of weeks, but I've got everything working down to this. Help?
