I suspect a misconfiguration of the clients and/or the WiFi AP. Since you seem to be using all static addresses and have disabled the DHCP server on FREESCO, may I suggest to enable the DHCP server on FREESCO?

If you need static IP addresses (i.e. for the AP) you can always define a static lease via FREESCO setup based on MAC address.

As stated above this is almost for sure a client configuration problem and using DHCP is the best and easiest way to solve it. However if you insist on using static IP addresses then you must point ALL client settings at the FREESCO IP address they are attached to. This means that every client behind FREESCO will have

Client settings
gateway 192.168.2.2
DNS 192.168.2.2

This includes your wireless router, which you have connected using it's Internet connection. However I would consider enabling the DHCP server on FREESCO and then connecting the wireless router to FREESCO using one of it's internal connections and then disabling the Internet interface and all of it services such as DHCP and DNS inside the wireless configuration. What this does is allow the wireless clients to connect directly to FREESCO.
If you are afraid that you might make a mistake. The chances are high that you will never learn anything.

The DMZ doesn't work for your internal clients because they are behind the modem.
That can be solved by adding your dyndns name to the local DNS hosts name list and resolve it to the LAN side of your FREESCO. This works if FREESCO is set as the DNS server for your clients.

Actually the DNS entry for dyndns is already added by the system automatically if you answer the question to resolve the dyndns address locally. Which this is a question asked during the dyndnd setup.
The problem is most likely that you must configure all of your internal clients to use FREESCO as there DNS server.
So in each of your internal clients use

Wired Clients
DNS = 192.168.3.29

Wireless clients
DNS = 192.168.2.1

and make sure that in FREESCO the DNS server is set in "y" mode.
