pFsense is more like a hobby setup with corporate firewall functions. Vyatta on the other hand is like a Cisco router. Both setups are not for the faint hearted. You really need a good foundation of networking knowledge to apply.
These routers are not your consumer routers. They can be a simple hardware using a Pentium !!! or Pentium 4 but they do really fast routing and hold more link states than your consumer router. Torrenting on these routers are a breeze.
Among the features include dual WAN load balancing and failover with CARP. VPN hosting servers like L2TP, PPTP, IPSEC and OpenVPN.
My setup is using a 1u P4 with 1GB RAM with 4GB CF as the disk. 2 Broadcom gigabit ethernet built-in with 2 Broadcom gigabit ethernet on a dual port NIC. Load balances 1 DSL and 1 Cable internet access on a round robin basis with failover. The server is a Cisco content engine but hacked to perform the function of a router. Top one is pFsense and the bottom one is Vyatta.
So far uptime on this router is 237 days. An upgrade is due. Maybe doing it next week.

The TP-Link TL-MR3420, a robust Wireless N 3G Router features true 3G/WAN failover capability, you can set a primary link, 3G/3.75G or WAN (xDSL/Cable) and the TP-Link TL-MR3420 will then automatically switch to the secondary link should your primary service be interrupted. Once the service is restored, the router will automatically failback to the primary link–keeping your business online with the minimal interruption to users.
So i connect it to my adsl modem, I take a 3g usb card and connect to Tp-link.
I navigate by adsl if connection dfo down it switch to 3g connection?
If it do this I buy it, please am i right?
As a general rule I'd avoid anything D-Link makes, my bad experiences with them has led me to believe their stuff is junk. I usually stick with Linksys or Netgear for home or small business networking equipment.
