      Hi,

      I'm having my you know what handed to me!

      I can't seem to figure out what's wrong…  Ok I've read every Pfsense wifi setup doc I could find. I watched every youtube video I could find. and nothing is working.

      Here is a basic of my setup.

      The Pfsense box is 10.10.0.1/24

      I setup the WiFi static on 10.10.2.2/24

      WiFi DHCP is setup and working as it assigns IP address. I tried even doing static on my devices and still can't get out or ping local IP addresses

      All my wifi devices connect without a problem. I just can't ping anything even the gateway.  BUT I can ping other WiFi devices connected to the wifi. Other words I can ping laptop to laptop, but neither can ping the pfsense gateway of 10.10.0.1

      Thanks,
      Rick

        perhaps you need a firewall rule to pass wlan traffic through the firewall from 10.10.2.0/24

          First thing I notice is that your pfsense firewall is on a different subnet from your access point(s). Unless you have a route set up within your network to send traffic from 10.10.2.0/24 to 10.10.1.0/24 then your access points won't be able to see the pfsense but will see each other.

          Either change the pfsense internal NIC to 10.10.2.1/24, for instance, or change your subnet mask to allow both networks to see each other (eg: 10.10.0.0/16).
