Title: Firewall not letting Internal Wi-Fi pass
Post by: jkemp on November 26, 2022, 09:21:03 am
Hello Everyone,
I installed a mini PCIe half size M.2 Wi-Fi module card in my router. Added the wireless device ath0_wlan1 and added the interface under assignments. So far, so good.

Entered all the IP addresses and placed it in Access Point mode. Setup DHCPv4 and saved. Created a firewall rule just like my LAN and WLAN. Can see the Wi-Fi card and connect with my mobile device, but no Internet.

DNS settings okay. Rule works on other interfaces. I have checked the firewall rule over and over. It should work, but it is not letting any packets in or out.

In the live log, all lines are red due to being blocked. (Default deny / state violation rule)

I checked the NAT and can see the Wi-Fi Networks in the automatic rules section just like the LAN Networks, and WLAN Networks. The LAN and WLAN work with the same rule, just different interface name.

It's like the firewall rule is not being applied.

Is there something else I'm missing here? Is it because it is an internal Wi-Fi card? I have an external USB wireless dongle that can be placed in AP mode also, and it will work with the exactly same rule as all the other interfaces.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
