Hi,
It’s unlikely, as Netgate also has issues with ARM 32bit stuff...
what you need to see yet...:

for 5G??? wifi
and other

No, it would require a specific build to be developed, as most (all?) Arm hardware does.

i dont understand why with mikrotik my download it's 700/800Mbit with APU2 4core 4gb ram, only 260Mbit

Hi,
You're in the right place ( but not in a right topic), if you read my posts I have a lot of APU stuff, what's your concern?

@daddygo theoretically I have 1 gig of bandwidth.
with apu2 and the same hardware of your guide an AMT GX-412TC 4 core, i download maximum 250megabit.
with a mikrotik, my speed test is 800megabit -

Without OVPN and without running heavy app(s), the APU2 MOBO (w 4GB RAM) knows a speed of nearly 1Gig
so something will be wrong with your settings,
pls. look around here too:

@foolish86 I don't understand why you would want to put pfSense on a device designed for Mikrotik. I can tell you that pfSense and Mikrotik complement one's network ... in my system, pfSense is the king of my WAN and Mikrotik (RB450x2) is king of my LAN. I have IDS/IPS on pfSense as well as DHCP on Mikrotik for all devices ... even double NAT ... no problem.

with Mikrotik the speed is
with PFsense is

PPPoE should not be a problem for pfSense.
Did you check this? MTU 1492f.e.:

PPPoE absolutely can be a problem for pfSense. It can only use a single receive queue and hence a single CPU core. I would still expect more than 250Mbps on most platforms though.
You should try the tunables shown here:

Yup,
Not a good wording,.... this is not a pfSense issue but Multi-Queue NICs + multiple CPU cores, this is a question of all such hardware.
I thought the OP was already beyond reading the pfSense handbook.
But that was the right guideline, it never occurred to me.

@daddygo now i tring queue and some settings in the guide
-
@foolish86 with some modify now go 300mbit. not bad, but still missing more 500mbit
