      If you have a 15Mbps WAN it's very unlikely your hardware is reducing that. Even an ALIX will run that easy.
      What speed are you seeing? How are you measuring? How does that compare with connecting to PPPoE directly.

      use a lan cable plug into router on ap mode wifi trun off i did a speed test from isp website 10MB down load by useing my PC.

        Ok, well what is your pfSense hardware?

        What speed do you see if you connect the PPPoE directly to the client?

          So are you talking about megabytes or megabits, there is a huge difference.

                Anything should handle that with ease unless there is a bad configuration issue such as one of the NICs set to the wrong speed/duplex.

                How is pfSense connected here? What is it running on?

                You will need to connect directly to the PPPoE with a client to test the speed without pfSense in-line.

                        Ok, well with that hardware I doubt you'd even notice the CPU usage at 10Mbps.

                        You need to test a direct connection first to see if you are actually losing anything.
