@Prisca it’s very unlikely to be an intel based x64 CPU. And you’d need a video display of some sort .
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.

I recommend a SG-2100 put that in-between wan and WiFi. Not a USB stick.

Yup, pfSense CE is x86 only and most SOHO routers are not. Did you have specific hardware in mind?
