      HI,

      I'm planning on making a computer/network lab and can only uses an unused ISP router.
      It has a USB port but not a console output, does this make it impossible?
      I have tried to SSH into it but it is always denied.
      The problem is that I can't find a way of getting into the BIOS to change to the boot drive.
      This there any way?

      Thanks,
      MCRAFTAX

        You cant install PFsense on normal router, U need a dedicated PC /VM setup )    , but u can try DDWRT Firmware for ur router if it support it  (DD-WRT is free Linux-based firmware for several wireless routers)
