Check this link: https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/wireless/use-an-existing-wireless-router-with-pfsense.html
Most routers have ip of 192.168.1.1 which will be used by pfsense, so you need to change wireless router to 192.168.1.2
Update:
Ok, actually, it is not just the above..
The uplink to the WAN on your wireless router now has to be plugged into your pfsense WAN port. (need to release & renew WAN DHCP so that it can get the IP from your ISP)
The wireless router is connected to your other LAN port on your pfsense server
You may want to assign a static IP to your wireless router if you have turned on DHCP on your pfsense

Update:
Actually, there are 2 ways to do this:
1. Use the wireless router as a bridge (not good for performance and it will lose all its software functionality like DHCP, NAT, etc)

Second way is what this original post was about.
For my router, I had to set static IP in 2 places:
