A "redirect host" response means that there is a routing issue.

Draw a network diagram.  Such as this ASCII example, which may
be wrong because I don't have a complete understanding from
your text description above.

{192.168.2/24} -- [192.168.2.??? / 192.168.1.1] --
  {192.168.1/24} --  [192.168.1.254] -- {Internet}

It's not clear to me what the address is of the WiFi router
is on the 192.168.2/24 subnet, nor is it clear to me that
this WiFi router has correct routing information.  It should
have a default route through your new firewall (192.168.1.254)
and it may not.  

You have several moving parts that aren't in the scope of
your description, such as WiFi router and PF configurations.
