My home router runs 11.1-STABLE/i386 using PC-104 form factor system from the year 2007
having AMD Geode processor not capable of 64 bit mode, RAM maxed at 1GB (2x512MB DIMMs),
UDMA100 IDE/PATA controller and two 100Mbit vr(4) vlan-capable network interfaces.

It can route/nat PPPoE connection at 100M wire speed, performs IPSEC at 33Mbit/s using
cryptodev/onboard AES accelerator while acting as WiFi access point same time
using multi-AP capable AR5212 ath(4) miniPCI (not miniPCI-E) card.

And I love FreeBSD for that.
