To configure a Wi-Fi and LAN bridged access point in pfSense firewall router, you need to perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connect to the pfSense web interface.<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Interfaces > (assign) > Bridges and add a new bridge.<\/li>\n
  3. Give the bridge a descriptive name, such as “WiFiLANBridge”.<\/li>\n
  4. Select the Wi-Fi and LAN interfaces you want to bridge together and click the Add button.<\/li>\n
  5. Go to Services > DHCP Server and create a new DHCP server on the bridge interface.<\/li>\n
  6. Configure the DHCP server options as needed for your network, such as the IP range, gateway, and DNS servers.<\/li>\n
  7. Go to Interfaces > Wi-Fi > Access Point and enable the Wi-Fi interface.<\/li>\n
  8. Select the bridge interface created earlier as the parent interface.<\/li>\n
  9. Configure the wireless network options, such as the SSID, security type, and password.<\/li>\n
  10. Go to Services > DHCP Server and enable the DHCP server on the Wi-Fi interface.<\/li>\n
  11. Save the changes and restart the pfSense firewall for the changes to take effect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s it! Your pfSense firewall should now be configured as a Wi-Fi and LAN bridged access point. You should be able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and obtain an IP address from the DHCP server.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
