So, for higher bandwidth plans people started using raspberry pi4bs with an additional usb3 Ethernet dongle. Its WiFi is not really up for the task but it does seem to make a mean wired only router, the quad A76 cores seem to be capable to reliably shape up to 1 gigabit with cpu cycles to spare.
So maybe get one of those and change your old wifi router into a wifi AP?

Disclaimer, I have not tried that myself, as I am on a 100/40 plan and already have a router well capable of that speed.

Best Regards
Sebastian

So I'm looking at the apu2, which from this post:

I recently got CenturyLink gig fiber and bought one of these:

Qotom Q355G4

And it's running OpenWRT 19.07 just fine, boots from a small USB thumbdrive.
It has no problem with CAKE + piece_of_cake up to 1gbit

Here is a table I made comparing the Qotom models
