I have a fairly large home network that consists of:
- 2 wired PCs,
- 3 Smartphones,
- 1 Tablet,
- 2 wireless PCs
- 2 wired gaming consoles
- 2 wireless gaming consoles
The problem is that I think that my router has problems handling all the traffic that this generates, since it crashes (reboots, no more WAN, etc.) every once in a while. I have an old machine here, a couple NICs, and a switch. Would it make sense to get that box to run pfSense and distribute traffic across different NICs (1 to switch for wired, 1 to router (as AP) for wireless)?
