I'm good for AP's I have a mesh system, haven't heard of any of those brands here in Australia.
Is there anything from here that would work?

AU, shouldn't you be in bed already? 
Hey, you're preaching to the converted

Today I would strongly consider n100 from the slow ship though.
I know, esp if one lives in AU where 2nd hand commercial hw might be harder to come by.
Then there are Fujitsu S920, HP T740, and other thin clients..
Yes!!!! I want buy something tomorrow and sort this out. You guys have created more issues for me
Get ready....block your ears (dumb alert question) so with the minipc I can install openwrt?
Reason I say that I have 2 mini-pc 1 nuc and 1 lenova both with 16mb of ram but only one lan port
I do second the suggestion to get better hardware.
But one of my R7800 is using Kongs NSS build and happily does 1 Gb/s but it is on 23.05 so will be outdated in about a year or so when support for that build is dropped.
A community effort is currently taking place to port NSS to 24.10 (which means no DSA but swconfig) this might extend the use of the R7800 some more:
Is there a list of routers that support 1gb and support openwrt. I think I'm heading in uncharted waters and will likely drown. It will be good if I can purchase something off the shelf which is readily available here in Australia.
In the interim I might try the kong build, can I flash it over my existing build?
I'm assuming I flash the sysupgrade.bin file?
I have Dynalink DL-WRX36 which does 1 GB/s easily but not always and everywhere available:
A good alternative is the flint2:
But there are a lot of other AX routers nowadays supported, my minimum requirements: Quad core processors at 2 Ghz, 1 GB Ram and 256 MB flash
ipq807x has the same fundamental issue with NSS as ipq806x, yes it has a faster SOC (ipq8072a) that might just be able to cope with 1 GBit/s (the downclocked ipq8071a does not, it maxes out around 600 MBit/s), so I would strongly favour filogic 830 (e.g. gl-mt6000) over ipq807x for the given wan speed.
--
Disclaimer: I do own ipq8071a, but no filogic devices, yet.
Is the issue openwrt? Because most off the shelf routers are capable of 1gb downloads?
Quad core 2.2 GHz (A53, so not the fastest ARM core) easily does 1 Gb/s on the standard OpenWRT (non NSS) build.
But if you want 2.5 Gb/s then you need the NSS cores and use the community NSS build.
I am not sure if the filogic 830 which uses the same cores but slightly lower clocked is faster unless off loading is enabled which also has its drawbacks.
Bottom line if you want faster then 1 Gb/s without any fancy tricks go for a mini PC
The issue is Qualcomm, not making NSS FOSS.

I'm not a fan of h/w offloading either, which is a major reason why I've moved my router to x86_64, but…
The SOC performance isn't the whole story here, as the nss-dp switchdev driver for ethernet/ switch are extremely bad without the helping hand of NSS offloading. Due to this there is a lot of wasted potential, e.g. there isn't even checksum offloading (which has to be done by the CPU), in contrast Mediatek's filogic DSA drivers are seriously better optimized and therefore can cope with much higher speeds despite the lower clocked SOC. This is merely about driver optimization (checksum offloading is a basic feature for modern ethernet chipsets, which does not fall under the topic NSS/ h/w-flow-offloading), not about soft- or hardware flow-offloading (both of which filogic can do, but again, not a fan of this myself).
nss-dp (just the name of the ethernet driver framework for ipq807x) != NSS offloading
@c-riccio The GL-MT6000 would be a mordern like-for-like replacement for the r7800 and is available in .au.
Yes thankyou looks like i can buy it from amazon...Can someone check before i click on buy.
Thanks to all you smart people

It's a well know device here, there's nothing to check.
Ordered one today...thanks to everyone much appreciated
