I admit I would have some wariness in replacing the firmware on my home router, though. If it all goes Pete Tong you are on your tod.
Installing it on an older piece of kit that's out of warranty and you intend to replace anyway - why not.

I'd even go a little further than that - I view it as something that sits between prosumer and enterprise (it's that good).
I run it on an Asus RT-N16 at home, which you can pick up for circa £60, and then with a bit of tweaking you have something that can run with low to mid range Cisco/Juniper kit and has a 140Mbit/s firewall throughput (and a 480mhz chip)
Stick that alongside PFSense, and you've got a pretty impressive firewall range for not much money.
