Hi,
What Openwrt box are there out there than can so 1 Gig no problem.
I have an Ubiquiti Edgerouter that can do 1Gbit, and want to plug into it another AP with RJ45s on it.
Happy to run Fortinet, Cisco, Ubiqutiti.
Price ceiling is USD 500 / EUR 500.
If you want SQM or snort, you will need to go with an x86 mini PC. I like AMD over Intel but that is personal pref. You can get one for well under 500 USD. If you don't need shaping/inspection, I am pretty sure RPi4/5 will do 1G but for the price point, x86 with two NICs on board is better than RPi + USB dongle NIC.
AP or router, myriad of devices that can achieve 1G, some of the new NanoPi devices come to mind.
you can achieve 1gbit on a $30 router/PC off eBay.
Also, it has to stick on the lounge wall, and be child proof. ( because they'll try to pull it off ).
Nothing remotely fragile.
NanoPi looks good. Is this one suitable? I did see a similar box with 3 rj45 ports on it but without wireless:
Lounge wall, then I guess you want something fan less ?
I can sell you an ARK-1123 for less than the R5C, but if it hits the floor, it's going to leave a mark, it's built like a tank 
Like these (not all supported by OpenWRT)?
Also mikrotik has din shelf mount options mostly co-relating with PoE, and theoretically all kinds of wall and ceiling mountables should sustain 2-3m fall.
And give 'em toys
My father already gave them real hammers to play with outdoors. That happened once.
BPI-R4? But requires custom setup, not an "out of box" device
Currently the ISP is blaming my Ubiquiti Edgerouter for the poor bandwidth and bufferbloat on the upload on my fibre, and won't investigate until I use their Fritzbox crap.
Looks like I am stuck.
does it happen with the Fritz as well ?
I don't know, yet.
They said that they will send me one to test with.
Try their QoS checkbox.

Pure nat 920Mbps can do pentium m745 from 2004 year with openwrt. I gaved one old checkpoint for free not long ago, dude is happy with it in it's rack cabinet.
GL-inet Flint 2, Turris Omnia, BPI-R3, BPI-R4, all well below your budget ($150).
Possibly "OpenWRT One" as well, it's still WIP.
For $500 I can get or build 10Gbit router (check Deciso devices)
Gl.inet is fine, won't recomend bpi-r4 - one of three randomly died this week...
.... and I wouldn't recommend the Omina, it's old and expensive.
R5C can do 1G without SQM, but for SQM you need R4S or R6S (which still in snapshot at the moment).
For SBC type, the Banana Pi BPI-R4 should do as well.
