            You're better off just sticking to supported hardware.

              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.

                OP wants to learn/is being taught pfSense, hence the virtual setup. Dedicated HW is probably out of that scope.

                  quick question, can I watch cached videos using wifi on pfsense without buffering it or this is applicable only on wired?

                    That's more up to your Wi-Fi than pfSense.  pfSense doesn't care if you're wired or wireless.

                      could someone teach me how to layout properly my network?

                      I'm doing this: ISP(internet) > (built-in lan) > old pc(with pfsense) > (external lan) > wifi-router(with dd-wrt) > laptop

                      I set my built-in lan as wan interface and external lan as lan interface

                      pfsense has blank lan when I start it up… please help me so that I'll be able to browse its gui and to enable the captive portal

                        Strange question.
                        "Videos"that only work when the connection si wired ?
                        So when there is Wifi (radio) or Optical (fibre) in the path, there are problems ?
                        Never heard about that one.

                        Better stick to 'normal' devices and setup  ;D

                                  Not that I know of.  There's crypto involved that has to match up.  Why not let pfSense do it?  You can generate hundreds if not thousands at a time.  Take them, put them in a database, print cards, whatever, and hand them out by whatever means works for you.

                                    Our adviser suggested that, so I asked if it's possible… thanks anyway :)

                                      I'm planning to install the squid 3, is there any conflict between that and captive portal?.. what other package/s I should install to make my pfsense more useful? TIA

                                        "Squid 3": don't know.
                                        "squid" was (is ?) breaking the portal - see the many (even more) subjects on this forum.

                                          another question, I set the dhcp range on lan to 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.10
                                          why is that some IPs connected to my lan is 192.168.1.100 and up?

                                            Another DHCP server (on LAN) ?
                                            Static IP setting used by clients ?

                                            You saw the pfSense DHCP server logs ?
