pfSense works very well as a firewall and traffic shaper. We've been using it for several years, first in a multi-WAN configuration with Sonic ADSL, now as the only WAN on FTTN x2.
What specifically did you need to know about the WAN configuration, and what type of connection do you have?

Been using pfSense for a couple years after dealing with mostly consumer grade routers and will never go back. pfSense is highly configurable (can also run as a VM), supports multi-WANs and haven't had any issues with it and FTTNx2. The ATT modem I was given is in bridge/pass-through mode with pfSense handling DHCP on the WAN interface.
If you build your own pfSense appliance, I do recommend spending a little extra on a 64-bit CPU that supports AES-NI (SuperMicro has some good boards). Not only will you benefit when using OpenVPN, etc. but a 64-bit and AES-NI capable CPU will be required for the upcoming v2.5 release...
