How does that hardware compare in terms of network throughput and power consumption to MCUs like the Allwinner H2/3? OpenWRT has been ported to that processor and boards like a NanoPI NEO plus a small USB WiFi or a second Ethernet dongle would still cost less, whilst having enough RAM and horsepower to host a full Linux install.
