Pfsense Wifi Internet May Not Be Available
Hi guys! I'm new to PfSense and in a few days I will have two internet connections available, but as of the moment I only have one internet connection. I researched and read so many threads about my problem and copying them( them meaning the solutions to the other threads ) and none of them have worked, It's been two days now and I can't get it to work I was making progress but now It has stopped please any help would be appreciated. :D
My preferred setup would be modem > pfsense > router > gigabit switch.
My current setup is modem > router (pfsense is connected on router lan) > gigabit switch. I did this because I was not making any progress and started configuring pfsense from there.
Should I replace my wireless router with pfsense + wireless AP? My internet connection is 150/10 cable. You may not need the advanced capabilities now, but. Jun 02, 2019 After returning and reinserting my new card I was able to use the internet for a few days (but it may have been connected to a wifi networkI’m not.
I have 3 NICS available ( 2 ethernet cards [ intel and TP-link , 1 onboard card ). WAN (wan) / LAN (lan) / WAN2 (opt1)
WAN - The wan seems to be working well, I can ping outside to google.com / yahoo.com / facebook.com ( Configuration is DHCP )
WAN2 - to avoid more complications I didn't enable WAN2
LAN Scenario #1 PFsense LAN IP: 192.168.1.25 / 24 Router Lan IP: 192.168.1.1 (I did not connect PFsense Lan to Router WAN)
Setup: Modem > PFsense > Router ( disabled NAT, enabled Dynamic Router RIP,disabled DHCP Server) > Switch (computer connected to switch)
Problems: PFsense can ping google.com and other websites using WAN . Computer Can Ping PFsense LAN. I can also access WEB GUI. But Computer Cannot ping WAN or any other websites.
Potential Problems: Meaning pfsense lan and pfsense lan does not communicated?
LAN Scenario #2 PFsense LAN IP: 192.168.1.25 / 24 Router Lan IP: 192.168.1.1 ( I connected PFsense Lan Directly to computer Lan )
Setup: Modem > PFsense > Computer
Problems: Pfsense Wan can ping outside. Pfsense Lan does not detect computer Lan vice versa.
Potential Problems: I can only detect pfsense when using my router (I am not sure about this but thats what I concluded)
I also tried the firewall settings but it didn't work…
I am stuck can anyone help me please? I read pfsense quite some time now and I am so amazed by it, but I can't get it to work:(
