      Hello,

      I have the following multi-wan routers laying around (Linksys RV16, Draytek Vigor3200, TPLink TL-ER5201)

      Does anyone had any success in installing pfSense on them its for a home use and I'm looking to aggregate 4x24Mbps ADSL connections (soon to be  2or 4 40 or 80 VDSL connections)

      I will not be running any fancy packages just bandwidthD and firwewall

      If it works can you please send me the info needed to install it on any of them as at this point they are just paper weights.

        pfSense only supports X86 architectures. None of those routers are X86. Some brief Googling shows the Linksys is ARM the Draytek didn't give up it's CPU type and the ER5201 doesn't seem to exist! (typo?)
        You may be able to use OpenWRT or DD-WRT on one of them though the Linksys seems unsupported by either of those also.

            "Seems" that the TL-ER5120 is using the "OCTEON™ CN30XX Single Core MIPS64" which isn't x86 and wouldn't run pfSense

              Yep, looks like OpenWRT doesn't have specific support for that either.  :(
              They do have general Cavium Octeon support though so if you fancied a project you might be able to get it running.
