>The AES instructions (which are on any Intel chip after 2008) help out immensely compared to using just a generic router.

Be careful, this isn't true... most low end Intel chips (Celeron, Pentium, i3) don't support AES-NI. Starting with Skylake chips (2015/2016-era), the whole processor line supports AES-NI. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES_instruction_set
