If you go that route I'd look for a mini PC that's advertised to run linux.
I got this one for about $300 which runs FreeBSD OK:

But I don't use it as a router. I have a Ubiqiti Edgerouter X. It has five
ethernet ports, hardware acceleration, a usable GUI, and you can ssh to a shell
and configure it with commands. It does all the stuff you'd expect a router to
do including DHCP, NAT, and tunnels.

Oh, and it costs all of $60.  They're out of stock at Ubiqiti but you can find lots
of them on eBay.
