Your mikrotik had QCA9531 with 5x 100mbit ethernet ports and 64MB ram?

It seems to me that your requirements is not that high. Yes, you can go sky high with x86 :slight_smile: but is it necesary?

I use a ZBT WE-1326 with MT7621, gigabit ports etc. and it works quite fine and should be good for your needs.

I can't talk for PPPoE performance as I don't use it. But it should satisfy your needs for long time if your old router had no bottlenecks. Also it is easy to flash with web based recovery if something goes wrong and well I can only vouch for my own use that it did not explode yet :slight_smile:

Although seems like ZBT prices have been going up a bit and now WE-1326 floats around 60euro. That is sad,

Also it seems to support some hardware flow offloading to support up to 900mbit apparently but I never needed it myself as my WAN connection is much slower. (the thread is about Ubiquiti Edge Router which also use MT7621)
