No internet on WAX214 through pfsense
Hi all, Newbie here and first time posting... bare with me. Im having issues getting internet when my WAP is connected to GS305EP switch which in turn is connected to my pfsense pc. I can get in...
So i found my solution and it was neither Netgear or Pfsense(sort of). lol. My problem lied on my NIC ports :Realtek. It seemed that Pfsense 2.6.0 does not have the needed Realtek driver package which is why i was seeing 00:00:00:00:00:00 on both my Interfaces and no getting internet. Anyway after installing the realtek package it all started to work well. You can find topic here:

I hope this can help anyone else out there who might be having problems, this can be at least a first step in finding a solution to your trouble.
Good Luck!
You might be better at asking on the pfsense forum as the pfsense is whats handling dhcp
