Pfsense on single port laptop
VLANS functionally works, but you'll also require a managed switch. USB internet is an alternative, though without USB 3 it will be sluggish and support is unreliable. In short, consider investing a little more in another system.
I won't use USB devices. Do you have a USB 3 model? Is your internet service provider included with a router?
It's a 3560, yes it supports USB 3. The ISP router is a D-Link DSL-G256DG; I think it's separate from the modem and includes a feature allowing ISP remote access to my network for troubleshooting (TR-069), which isn't ideal.
You’re looking for specific capabilities from pfsense. Once you confirm that, I’ll switch to something like an edgerouter. Also, you’ll need a Wi-Fi AP on the laptop, and there appear to be problems with USB NICs—please avoid those.
