Hello, your router upgrade to Pfsense is on the right track. Since you don’t have a WAN port, you can still set up a WAN connection using one of your LAN ports. Pfsense supports configuring a LAN port as a WAN interface, so it’s possible to achieve this setup. Just ensure the hardware and firmware are compatible for that configuration.

Ethernet port offers many possibilities. I possess it along with various Chinese router boxes and mini devices.
