Can PFSense Replace 3 ASUS RT-N16 Routers?

TL;DR
Hello all my current setup is linked below…I would like to upgrade to the new setup linked below...
Is this possible..
MORE INFORMATION
I am upgrading my network by adding a second WAN connection
Currently i have 3 lans setup in the same building...
i purposely separated them since they didnt need to be talking to each other...well my needs changed and i would like all my computer from all 3 networks to talk to each other and i would like to add a DUAL WAN
If there is no elegant solution to merge all the networks at the router level im basically going to blow away the entire setup and just setup a 10.0.x.x network
Let me know if im missing anything
Thanks in advance

It's very bad to run multiple layer3 instances over a single layer2 setup.
Our dear member johnpoz would say this is "borked" ;)
This might be possible, but you shouldn't. You should get a managed switch or multiple separate switches…. Even if you keep your Asus routers: your setup is bad

The reason for the new network diagram showing a unmanaged switch between the pfsense box and the modems is bc the phone Guy wants our phone system in front of the firewall I guess i should find out why

Why on earth would you do that when you can use pfsense to prioritize the traffic for the phone system?

This was setup many years ago and i never questioned why…. guess i have some detective work to do... im sure I just need to forward some ports and it'll work fine...
