Ed is looking for something faster than 1Gbps ethernet, though, and
the OpenWrt One only has one 2.5Gbps port, which means you can't route
out the other ethernet side faster than the one 1Gbps port. The
OpenWrt One is more of a development platform than a practical router,
at least in Ed's scenario.
