The first NIC would be for your WAN connection, the second would be for your LAN connection. Simple answer to your question is 2 NICs. I would love some input or any resource that can point me in the right direction. This is something I plan on fully understanding throughout my time working on the router.Įnd of the day to actually get the build on it's feet, the NIC question is an answer I can't clearly find or understand. There is also a bunch of lingo regarding WAN, LAN, and WLAN and although I know the acronyms meaning, I have no clue as to what is truly going on. How many NICs do I need for this? I have been looking online and there seems to be a general consensus of around 2 or more NICs for a pfSense router, but looking at my computer I only have 1. Is to create a router that can handle both a wired connection to my fathers computer and a wireless connection to the various electronics I have around the house. I've been trying to find an informative video on how to build a pfsense router and while doing so, have come across some issues in actually formulating the build specifically the networking hardware I'm going to need.
