        can i set up a secure wifi connection through my isp >router/modem or should i get a seperate access point?

        You should get separate AP.

        i was looking at the U6 Lite, would that be a solid ap?

        Yes

        also is there a way where i can use the opt port for now
        to run another ethernet connection?

        Yes

        thanks in advance and any help is appreciated!

        Welcome.

          Sure. Note that will put the Wi-Fi clients outside your pfSense.

          Do you mean on the same network as LAN? Yes Netgate has instructions for removing the VLAN setup to do that. Otherwise sure you can plug something in and that will be a separate interface.

          Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
          When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.
