        pfSense doesn't support IPv6 currently. Besides that the feature that you are looking for is called captive portal, so if you are fine with IPv4 only the answer is yes.

            Download and install pfSense. Then navigate to service>captive portal in the webgui. It's pretty selfexplaining from there on.

                I don't understand the question. Best you can do is install both and test them out. Then choose which works best for you.

                    They are completely different by design and operating system. You have to do the comparison yourself. I think nobody did something like that yet.

                      Microtik will beat pfSense in wireless performance, the driver they use are developed by microtik and is much better. The rest is pretty much the same.
