Can I install pfSense on an old router
-
Hey,
Apologies if this question is silly but I have a spare router and I was wondering if anyone knew if it could be flashed to run pfSense?
In the UK there is a ISP called TalkTalk who ship routers with their own branding to their customers. Mine is a D-Link DSL-3680 Broadband Wireless N150 ADSL2+ Router. Does anyone know if this can be done or has links to any walkthroughs?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

No, only i386 and amd64 architectures are supported: https://www.pfsense.org/about-pfsense/versions.html

If you're looking for a project you might be able to put OpenWRT or DD-WRT on there. Doesn't look like it would be easy though, it's not on the tested hardware list.
