      My mobile IP: 192.168.4.2
      My tv IP: 192.168.4.3

      And if now the client isolation is activated the both devices could not connect or play nice each with another one!
      Please be sure that the "WiFi client isolation is off".

        Hi,

        well, I reset my TP-LINK. Now, without vlans and without security (open wifi).

        pfsense -> TP-link: Interface AP (192.168.3.0/24).

        I tried 2 ways: DHCP in pfsense and disabled in tp-link, and dhcp enabled in tplink and disabled in pfsense.  I have internet connection and so on, but the app doesn't work.

        AP isolation is disabled.

        I don't understand what the hell is happening here…

          If you setup DHCP on the TP-Link (and disabled on pfSense) then a full power cycle of all TP-Link attached devices should force them onto one subnet managed by the TP-Link.
          In that case either the TP-Link is stopping traffic, or the "TV-app" has to communicate through the internet rather than directly to the TV, in which case you should see something from the phones app going out WAN (and an attempt back in through WAN that's probably blocked).

          What's the make and model of the TV?

          I still think it's worthwhile trying to find another cheap/simple WAP and remove the TP-Link variable from the equation.

            Well, I did a lot of test and I can't find the problem.

            Definitely, it is not a problem of pfsense. As divsys said, I'm going to use another AP to see what happens.

            I did these tests:

            • No vlans
            • No security in TPLINK
            • DHCP in tplink or DHCP in pfsense
            • Review of logs…

            TPLINK allows these operation modes:  (1)Access Point (2)Multi-SSID (3)Client (4)WDS Repeater (5)Universal Repeater (6)Bridge with AP

            I tried with 1 and 2. Should I try with another one?

            Thank you all for you help, I learnt a lot.
            Regards.
