Hello everyone, I shared this on the Netgate forum and would appreciate your help. I'm new to networking, so forgive me if I'm not clear. I need to set up a pfSense box running on an old PC with existing firmware. The goal is to split the internet connection from two different ISPs, using it as both a router and a firewall. I've seen many tutorials about pfSense but haven't found one that matches this specific use case. I'm planning to use an old computer case for installation. Could you recommend the network card to use? Also, what setup steps should I follow or where can I find more detailed instructions? Thanks in advance!

Consider any network card with Intel NICs for PFSense installation. For configuring multiple WAN connections, refer to the provided guide at the link.
