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?
