I'm exploring building my own router using PFsense and connecting an AP for wireless use. I'm unsure about the required hardware, so a Ryzen 2200G seems excessive? Also, is this setup within power limits according to Intel's guidelines at https://ark.intel.com/products/42491/Int...-D945GCLF2? I just need basic firewall protection with a few add-ons—about five or six.

For simple firewall needs a Ryzen is more than enough. I’ll check an atom system.

Yes, you can connect to an AP using a switch even if the board only has one Ethernet port.

It's okay to try it out first. VLANS might work, but a PCIe Ethernet card tends to be more reliable.

Consider using a PCI Ethernet card since the board lacks PCIe support. Internet speeds are approximately 200 Mbps download and 100 Mbps upload.

PCI should manage that well. I’ll just pick an Intel model since they’re recognized for strong FreeBSD compatibility.

Sure, you can use either the built-in Ethernet port or a separate NIC card. If you need more ports, consider getting a dual-port NIC for better flexibility.

Yes, you can connect a PCIe NVMe card and an onboard one (if compatible)

Consider that although it's acceptable for pfSense 2.4, it won't work with pfSense 2.5 because the latter needs a 64-bit processor with AES-NI support.
