      @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.

      pfSense+ 23.09 Lenovo Thinkcentre M93P SFF Quadcore i7 dual Raid-ZFS 128GB-SSD 32GB-RAM PCI-Intel i350-t4 NIC, -Intel QAT 8950.
      pfSense+ 23.09 VM-Proxmox, Dell Precision Xeon-W2155 Nvme 500GB-ZFS 128GB-RAM PCIe-Intel i350-t4, Intel QAT-8950, P-cloud.

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

              f.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:
                https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/hardware/tune.html#pppoe-with-multi-queue-nics

                  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. 😉
