            Hope the OP does not mean a modem in front of pfSense's WAN.

              You really don't want to bridge them.Use a separate subnet for the OPT wifi interface.
              I assume you don't really don't mean "Modem Wifi" as a modem would be WWAN and Wifi is WLAN, two different things.

                  I see now. So you have a modem provided by your internet provider with a built-in wifi capability and you wish to access the pfSense WebGUI, which is behind the provided device, Via the wifi.

                    Made me think on this one. I think the only way you could pull this off is maybe disable the firewall in pfSense and use it in router mode…

                        Because there is none.  Get a wifi device and put it behind pfSense.

                        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!
