      You should be able to, i currently have the same configuration, the only difference is that i am using a netgear router as AP.

      LAN1 - em0 = WAN (you can either set it up as static ip or DHCP)
      LAN2 - em1 = LAN (192.168.1.1/24 and DHCP server enabled)

      On the router remove DHCP server and make it static ip with 192.168.1.2 and using GW 192.168.1.1 (Pfsense LAN interface ip).

      This way, anyone connecting to Wifi through your router will get dhcp from pfsense and once they open any webpage they will be redirected to the captive portal (if you enable it on lan interface).

            yes, I'm setting wan as em0 and lan as em1
            do I need to disable the DHCP server of my router before installing pfsense or I should do it after?..
            I made router's ip: 192.168.1.2

            thanks

                  I don't know anything about virtual box but it looks like you are trying to install amd64 into a 32-bit VM.  If you CAN install 64-bit, you SHOULD install 64-bit.  But they need to match.

                  Make a 64-bit VM and install 64-bit.  Or install 32-bit into what you have if that's all you can do.

                    thank you very much sir!

                    Oic, I'm installing a 64bit into a 32bit freeBSD that's why… but there's no 64bit of it on my virtualbox, and I saw someone on youtube has 64bit of freeBSD..

                        when I disabled dhcp server on my wifi-router then reset the virtual machine, wan becomes blank, is it normal?.. I also enabled the captive portal and when I try to connect using my phone, it's directly connecting to the internet without authentication.. also can't access 192.168.1.1 (pfsense gui) using phone but I can access 192.168.1.2(dd-wrt gui)

                          when I disabled dhcp server on my wifi-router then reset the virtual machine,

                          If the pfSense gets his WAN IP over DHCP this could be really going.

                          wan becomes blank, is it normal?..

                          Then enter in the WAN field of the pfSense a static IP address please, and this must be one from the
                          IP range where the DD-WRT router is in.

                          I also enabled the captive portal and when I try to connect using my phone, it's directly connecting to the internet without authentication..

                          Is your VM host doing NAT?

                          also can't access 192.168.1.1 (pfsense gui) using phone but I can access 192.168.1.2(dd-wrt gui)

                          Is this DD-WRT "device" also a VM guest or a real device?

                            I should just let dhcp server disabled on my wifi-router or I should not?..
                            I already enter an static ip address to wan (192.168.1.100)
                            I set it bridged adapter
                            dd-wrt is a real device, it's the wifi-router that I'm using right now

                            please correct me if I made some mistake
                            thank you.

                              You can do but the WAN IP from the pfSense msut be a static one, that is outside of the
                              DHCP pool from the DHCP server from the DD-WRT Router!

                              I already enter an static ip address to wan (192.168.1.100)

                              Then the DHCP IP range should be from 192.168.1.1/24 - 192.168.1.99/24 or
                              192.168.1.101/24 to 192.168.1.254/24 so that the WAN IP from the pfSense is
                              not inside of the IP range from the DHCP server from the DD-WRT!

                              I set it bridged adapter

                              Why? Is the VM also doing NAT?

                              dd-wrt is a real device, it's the wifi-router that I'm using right now

                              There comes the Internet in or?

                              Internet –- ISP --- DD-WRT --- VM host --- VM with pfSense --- LAN
                              If the DD-WRT is doing NAT and the VM host also and then on top the pfSense will be also doing NAT
                              you get in trouble here.

                              If the WAN IP Address of the pfSense is inside the DHCP IP Address range you will be also going into trouble.

                                my network setting is: internet > wifi-router > laptop where the virtualbox installed > VM with pfsense

                                If the WAN IP Address of the pfSense is inside the DHCP IP Address range you will be also going into trouble.

                                should I set the wan of pfsense to 192.168.1.3 or what?

                                    what should I do if the external lan card cannot detect?.. should I install latest version of pfsense?.. I changed my setup onto stand-alone

                                            Exactly.
                                            Time to promote plan B to Plan A: make pfSEnse work on its own 'device'.
                                            Afterwards, when you 'manage' EXSI well, try to to 'visualize' the whole thing.
