Considering linksys WRT3200ACM. Heard pfsense is not good with wireless.

I switched to pfsense* from a WRT. Awful router! It uses a cloud service to log in and nine times out of ten the awfulness that is their app cannot "locate a Linksys router on the network" even from a phone using the routers WiFi. I even tried flashing OpenWRT which was much better but the hardware still sucked and had to be restarted often. Cannot recommend (sadly I did recommend it to a friend before I knew how awful it is and he has the exact same problems even though he owns a different WRT model (1900 I think)).

* I'd recommend OPNsense over pfsense. If nothing else then because they break licenses (pfsense is NOT open source as they claim. You cannot built from the sources they provide).
