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?

Using the existing router as an AP is my plan, so this would definitely work (I'm looking to use this as an excuse to split the router and the APs up).

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

Qotom Q355G4
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077ZWR8Q9

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

Thanks! I'll definitely look into those as well.
