updated from legacy... WiFi1_GWv4 Priority Defunct (Upstream)

[m0n0wall_refugee]

after updating from 23.1.1 (i believe) to 23.7.7_3-amd64 my IPv4 has stopped working on my WiFi.
any help in the matter would be most appreciated.  :)

my configuration

Sorry, but ... what hardware exactly, all configuration, etc. We need a full picture of how your WiFi is configured, how should we help without that?

you are right. my apoligies.

my setup is on a 'Qotom Barebone PC Q355G4 with Intel Core i5 5200U' 8GB RAM running opensense v23.7.9

i have a wifi router being used as, and set to access point, with the IP 192.168.2.2/25
that is wired to [WiFi1] interface.

IPv4 is confirmed working on LAN 192.168.1.* connections. just broken on WiFi connections since upgrading.

if there is anything else i should provide, please let me know.
thank you

bump

anyone? please

Isn't the AP in bridge mode? Why do you need a gateway on the WiFi interface? Also please show the firewall rules on that interface.

thanks. it's actually in 'Access Point' mode. my original intention was to isolate WiFi and LAN traffic from each other, and have different subnets. the NICs on the ''Qotom Barebone PC Q355G4' are tied together like a switch? it's my understanding that they can 'see' each other regardless of firewall rules, so i scrapped that idea. (and those fire wall rules)

If the AP is in "Access Point" mode, it is probably a bridge. Which means all IP is managed by OPNsense any you do not need a gateway.

So in theory if WiFi is a separate interface with a separate IP network etc. of course you need proper allow rules for DNS, Internet etc. for this to work.

If all interfaces of this Qotom thing are bridged like a switch, then your AP is connected to LAN and the separate "WiFi" interface in OPNsense does not make sense.

But I doubt that is the case because if the ports were all just a switch you would not even see separate interfaces in OPNsense. So you will need rules resembling the ones for LAN with minor adjustments on that WiFi network.
