Just ordered a Chinese box with 8th gen U-series i5, 8 GB of RAM and 120 GB of SSD. Has six ethernet connections, HDMI and COM. Planning to install OpenWRT to it, and with AES-NI the system should be easily able to push the full 1 Gbps of traffic through Wireguard.
I've had whatever routers before, but mostly when using some VPN to hide the traffic from your home network, and if having fast enough internet, a good CPU is a must.
