There are small, low-TDP Intel systems for up to ~$250 or so (including case) that use current generation Celerons with 4 2.5 GigE ports, and with the I/O bandwidth to easily support a full-on router at wirespeed on those ports. I'm thinking of upgrading my entry-router (which is based on Fedora Server 36 now, not Cerowrt, just because that's my general go-to distro on x86_64 and Aarch64) from an old Celeron system with two full speed 1 GigE ports to 2.5 GigE, in advance of my expectation that 2.5 GigE DOCSIS 3.1 will become cheap enough soon at my home. The problem with the low-end boards is that you need enough PCIe lanes to move packets at 10 Gb/sec bidirectionally. The contained ARM chips may be fast enough in principle, but the board and the PCIe are a bottleneck. AliExpress sells such boards and also barebones, but prices and specs vary.
