Which of the following mini pcs would be best suited for 1,5gb speeds with SQM?

Hardware Questions and Recommendations
1

I'm a beginner and would like to use a router with OpenWRT. I bought an RX27 Pro thinking I could use it, but I discovered it is not compatible due to a lack of drivers.

Preparing for the future, I would like a device that supports at least 1.5 gbps to use SQM. Which of the following models would be most suitable?

I apologize if this question has already been asked on the forum. I had already researched previously, but I'm afraid of buying a device that will overheat or have a lack of drivers and become unusable in the future.

I would go with the x86_64 n100 system, but I don't have 1:1 comparisons for either of those.

(just resist the urge to overload it with additional, non-router, uses - to keep the security and maintenance at bay).

EDIT: also at least check the prices for n100 based options with four 2.5 GBit/s ethernet ports as well, the extra markup might be worth the convenience, depending on your requirements.

neither of these has 2x 2.5gbps interfaces so can't be used for more than 1gbps unless you use a managed switch or a usb3-to-2.5g nic so neither is recommended if you want multigig speeds.
I can only recommend to buy a box with intel n100 and at least 2x 2.5gbps but no specifics
