      Hi there,
      I am trying to configure pfsense 2.2.3 to have multi wan.

      WAN Wired Ethernet 192.168.1.2 to upstream router 192.168.1.1
      LAN Wired - 192.168.2.0/24
      OPT1 Wireless 192.168.0.21 need to connect to wireless router

      OPT1 Has an upstream router 192.168.0.1 which I need to connect to via Wifi, the router has been setup to accept wpa2 using AES, the purpose of the link is to add a failover or possible load balance
      I have linked to dropbox, it is the default screens for the opt1 interface, i am not sure what to fill in here.

      thanks
      Jamie

        I think your really stretching what pfSense can do -but here goes.
        As i understand it, you want to make a wifi bridge to your other network. So i would get the Wifi working in client mode before trying to configure it for MultiWAN(if even possible)

        Screen 1) I think you want dynamic IP here as you will get an IP from the WIFI AP right?
        Screen 2,3,4) IBSS is right, Just lookup wifi client settings for the rest.

        What is your wireless client adapter?

          I would suggest you focus on getting your wireless client working on WAN first, figure out how it works then tackle OPT as you will need to set firewall rules for OPTx usage. With WAN port rules are already set…So stick ATH0 on WAN and get it going then add wired connection for multiwan. Many ways to do it so just my .02 cents. You using end to end yagi's?
