Unable to access internet from AP
-
Is the AP set on 192.168.2.2? Does the AP have the proper netmask? Can you set a default gateway on the LAN interface (that can be trouble). If not can you set static routes in the AP? It needs to know to send traffic for anything but its own subnet (192.168.2.0/24) to pfSense for routing. Maybe set a static route for 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 with a gateway of pfSense's address on that segment.

Here is a screenshot from the AP.

Hmm. What happens with https?
-
Does it matter/help if you give the AP a Static, outside the pool, i.s.o. a Dynamic. ?
I use a Zyxel 3205v2 wired to pfSense. Clients of this AP get the dynamic IP from the pfSense DHCP-server. -
There should be no DHCP server on the AP.
-
Trying to access the AP thru the https, it fails as well.
I have setup DHCP (192.168.2.100 -> 192.168.2.130) and a list of allowed MAC addresses on the Blue Interface. Both the AP and my wireless devices are listed as allowed MAC addresses.
Right now I am only enforcing MAC addresses to control who connects to the blue Interface.
The AP gets a fixed IP address 192.168.2.2 and my ipad gets an address from the DHCP. The AP has the DHCP disabled as it is being handled by the Blue interface.
The ipad connects to the AP and is able to access the internet in addition to the Netgear web page.
My laptop connected to the LAN still cannot.
I am at a loss!

Why are get address/dns dynamically both checked?
-
That's how I had it setup with IpCop. So that the AP would get the information from the IPCOP DHCP.

Then look in your DHCP leases for the APs MAC address and see what address your AP got and try to connect to that.
I have no idea what sort of cockamamie schemes your AP manufacturer concocted. I would give it a static.

...W.r.t. screenshot of your post #8. First within the AP-box you should set the Static addressing and DNS to pfSense-server. So not a double entry in pfSense DHCP-leases due to dynamic & static. Do not allow the AP address as a dynamic. Secondly set the AP static in pfSense DHCP-server, of course with the correct MAC.
