Title: [SOLVED] Wireless AP
Post by: Hypoc on February 23, 2016, 10:12:43 am

      Hello!
      
      I´m doing some testings with opnsense as replacement for an old router.
      I know that it´s not recommended to use a wireless card as an AP on Bsd, but we had the hardware available and wanted to try it.
            
      Wan Dhcp ---> OPNsense ---> Lan 192.168.1.1 ---> Dhcp
                                  |
                                  |
                                  |--------> OPNsense as Wireless AP 192.168.4.1 --> Dhcp
   
   The problem is that i can´t get the wireless clients to access the internet.
   
   The Wifi card is a Ralink RT5390 using the ral-driver. Posting status below:
   
   Regards Hypoc  :)

Just to be sure did you add firewall rules for the Wireless lan? If you did, can you ping the IP of the firewall (192.168.4.1)?

Typical newbie mistake...  :-[
I did´nt realize that no rules were created for the wireless interface by default.
Added rules and it runs like a charm.
OPNsense looks really good.
Keep up the good work!

Regards Hypoc  :)
