Okay, so I set up a pfSense box for my house today. Here's how things are set up.

ISP line -> PFSense box WAN port

PFSense box LAN port -> Cradlepoint MBR-1000's integrated switch (all routing features are disabled) -> 1 computer + 5-port DLink Green switch in my basement -> computers

I can get connectivity on every single wired machine I have. The trouble is I want to use the MBR-1000 as my access point, too.I have tried running a patch cable from one of its switches' LAN ports to its WAN port but no luck. If I configure the WAN information for the Cradlepoint as the static information from my ISP (that is also configured for the pfSense's WAN port), it says it's connected but I can't ping any public IP from the router's ping test nor can I get internet connectivity on any wireless device. Any ideas?
 
1) Disable all Routing/DHCP services on the Cradlepoint device.
2) Run a patch cable from a switch port to a LAN port on the Cradlepoint.

By default, traffic between the wireless side and the LAN should be unrestricted. All you are doing is bridging the LAN side of the Cradlepoint with the rest of your LAN.
