Yeah I have tried once. Seems to conflict. DO I need to assign the router an IP? set to static or DHCP? Or just to obtain an IP AUTO...I'm trying to get the WIFI to a higher ground so that the WIFI has a larger range. Seems to work better that way. Also do you think that I should get a new modem? If that will stop my collisions I think that I should. I would think as much $ as I pay my ISP that they should give me a 100mbit modem. We will see. Thanks you have went out of your way to try and help me...Thanks once again..Steve

Just make sure it has a non conflicting IP, DHCP is turned off and only connect stations to the LAN side. Leave the WAN unplugged (pfSense uplink goes into LAN of the wifirouter, not WAN).
