Hello

I have a virtualized pfSense box set as a DHCP server/router/gateway/etc and 2 DD-WRT APs. My wireless clients connect to the DD-WRT APs perfectly but they do not get a IP address from them.

On a client, If I set static IPs and my pfSense box as the gateway, wireless LAN/WAN works.

What should I setup so they do recieve a IP address thru the DD-WRT APs from the pfSense box?

For more details:

I can ping the pfSense box at 192.168.1.1
but
I cannot access the web interface thru a web browser

This only happens on a wireless client. I can do it thru a wire client (everything works perfectly on a wired client)

It's possible that you mean have to specify a lease duration. If that's missing it may not issue IP's. I'm not experienced with DD-WRT, but do you have to assign the DHCP pool to a specific lan interface?
