pfSense dual wan question

[walrusissi]

Hello,

 

Currently I am running dual 30 Mbps down, 3 Mbps up docsis connections which my 100 Mbps r470t+ can keep up with.

However, I am looking to upgrade one of my connections to 100 Mbps down + 10 Mbps up ftth, keeping one of my connections as a fail-over.

Since I can't use my current router with bandwidth based routing capability, the lowest cost option for me would be installing pfsense on a computer as I don't have the $200+ to spend on a er5120.

Is it possible to aggregate these two connections of different speed efficiently in pfsense? If so, how much overhead is there?

Thanks in advance.

You can, its not gui simple but it can be done

From what I can see in the links sent pfsense can only do round-robin load balancing so both connections have to be of the same speed, which would probably slow down the connection speed rather than speed it up.

I will attempt this in about a week's time when hopefully I will have the fibre connection to test this out. Thanks anyway for the help.
