It looks like the tp-link device is still trying to route traffic, probably to it's WAN port, and failing.
Can you ssh into the tp-link and try from there?

Steve

yes Steve you are right. by  telnet i am able to ping outside to any public ip. what i do now.

Can you ping an external ip dirdctly, like 8.8.8.8?
If not what error is shown?

Check the firewall logs after you've tried to connect.

What error is given when you try to ping, for example, google.com?

Is the pfSense WAN connection good? What does the dashboard report for updates? 'You are on the latest version'?

Steve

The firewall is blocking traffic. In that case you'll see hits in the firewall logs unless it's being blocked by a rule you added without logging.
There is no route from the clients to the internet. That's usually a bad subnet or no gateway. You can easily diagnose that by trying to ping out. It will result in 'no route to host' errors.

What firewall rules do you have?
Neither of those wireless devices are routing or NATing?

Steve

by default everthing is allowed and i have added one more rule to allow any traffice from 192.168.1.221 (remote AP). one more thing they are open no security i am using only known client in DHCP. and entry for AP is also added in the DHCP.
