Hello and thanks for taking a look,

I installed a PFSense firewall in between the existing Service providers' router and our wifi router.

Currently, all the clients connected to the wifis LAN/WLAN are able to get to the internet. The PFSense firewall can ping the new WAN IP address assigned to the wifi router BUT It cannot ping the LAN address of the wifi router OR and of the local clients connected to the WLAN/wifis LAN.

I'm sure I will need to provide more info but this is what I have narrowed it down to so far.

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

    You're better off asking at https://serverfault.com/ and including some logs while you're at it. – prgrm Jan 23 '20 at 15:21

Seems like the wi-fi Router is configured in NAT mode. You need to allow ICMP in the wi-fi Router from wi-fi WAN to wi-fi LAN. This will allow ICMP connection originating from the pfSense LAN to traverse the wi-fi router.
