      Using WRAP 2C with 1 lan and 2 wan interfaces.
      I simply want it to route IP traffic where it logically should go.
      1. Turned off NAT via  System -> Advanced -> Disable Firewall
      2. OPT1 interface is local 2.4ghz wi-fi with DHCP on.
      3. WAN interface is for communication between pfSense units (backhaul).

      DSL modem 10.0.0.1/8
                                        |

      LAN 10.0.0.2/24
                                          | 
      wi-fi clients                    |
          2.4ghz OPT1–------pfsense #1
          10.2.0.1/24            |
                                          | 
                      10.1.0.1/16  WAN -----5.8ghz wireless ----------|
                                                                                              |       
                                                                                              |
                                                                                              |
                                  LAN 10.0.1.1/24                                    | (will try to put OLSR on WAN in the future)       
                                          |                                                    |
          2.4ghz OPT1--------pfsense #2                                    |
            10.2.1.1/24            |                                                  |
                                          |                                                  |
                        10.1.0.2/16  WAN-----5.8ghz wireless ----------|---(etc)

      As of now, I'm trying to get pfSense#1 routing between the local wi-fi clients on OPT1 and the DSL modem on LAN.
      Pings that work so far:
      "dsl modem"<-->"pfSense#1 lan and opt1"
      "wi-fi client"-->"pfSense#1 opt1", however "pfSense#1" cannot ping wi-fi client.
      No Pings between dsl modem and wi-fi client.
      What do I set the Gateways to on each of the interfaces?
      When I enable OLSR on the WAN 5.8ghz ports, the path to the Internet could be anywhere, should I then set gateways to the WAN/OLSR interface ip?
      Any suggestions are appreciated,
      -pc

        Your DSL-Modem needs a static route back to the subnet of the wificlients with the pfsense as gateway or you have to use nat for your wificlients.

          If I turn NAT back on and keep the same IP ranges, I'm guessing I would need to set something up in the NAT translation 1:1?

            Create an outbound Nat rule for the wifi subnet that only applies for the destination of the modemrouter. (firewall>nat, outbound tab)

            LAN    10.2.0.1/24  *  19.0.0.1/32  *  *  *  NO

              @hoba:

              …or you have to use nat for your wificlients.

              I hope to avoid using NAT unless absolutely necessary.

              I guess that means routing to 10.2.0.1.  However, what about the wifi clients on pfSense#2 in ip range 10.2.1/24 ?
              Thank you for the assistance,

                You only were referring to the wifi clients accessing the dsl modem in your previous posts. Actually a lot a whole bunch of routes is needed at pfsense1, pfsense2 and the DSL modem if the Modem should be accessable from everywhere.
