Moving OPNsense to DMZ

[hushcoden]

I have a pretty basic setup, modem <--> APU2E4 <--> access point and it works just fine. My connection to ISP is PPPoE and I've seen so many posts claiming that this type of connection seems to impact the performance of OPNsense.

I can change the modem setting from bridge mode onto modem/router, so that it can handle the PPPoE protocol and then connect the OPNsense appliance to the router DMZ (to avoid doube NAT): would this bring any benefits at all?

I managed a couple of APU2s with a data line greater than 100/100 Mbps. In my cases moving the firewalls to DMZ improved significantly the situation.
