      Hi, thanks for replying me.
      Each router (5) provides about 40Mbit
      I got what you said.
      So, can I do it in this way:

      On pfsense
      2 ports LAGGtoLAN
      2 ports LAGGtoWAN

      On the VLAN switch
      2 ports for LAGGtoWAN (pfsense)
      ports 1to6 VLANid's....

      Tel me what you think please
      Robin

        Even if you had 10, for 400mbps total you have zero need of lagg.

          Ok John, got it. Thanks
          I'll leave only the LAN side as LAGG

          Many many thanks for you time

            You don't even need that.. Again KISS!!

            The only reason I ever mentioned lagg is if your total bandwidth from these 5 different lines exceeded 1gig, in that case you would need to allow for more than 1 gig into the lan side of pfsense via different interfaces.

            But since your total internet connection adding up all your 40mbps connections is 200mbps, 1gig connection is all you need, so there is no reason to setup lagg..

              I've considered LAGG on the LAN side because of 200 to 300 concurrent users that require internet

                But your internet is only 200mbps total across all your connections, so lagg provides nothing other than a possible problem to deal with..
