Yesterday and today I can't get to my FreeNAS via wifi as I usually do (i.e., laptop -> wifi -> router -> ethernet -> freenas). If I connect my laptop to the router with ethernet cable, it works fine. This applies to FreeNAS GUI, AFP access, SSH, everything.
The laptop wifi works fine getting on the internet and accessing the router/modem setup.
Yesterday I was deep in the throes of installing OpenVPN and a firewall in a jail on the FreeNAS. That was all in the jail though, so I don't see how I could have screwed up the main FreeNAS setup. Anyway, I guess the problem is not FreeNAS because it communicates by wire either way. I don't think I changed anything on the router , but it's possible. It's a Arris / Motorola SURFboard Gateway SBG6580 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless N Cable Modem with four ethernet ports.
Any idea what might make it possible to get in only from ethernet, not wifi?
