>If I needed a new router today (I don’t, I have a couple of cold spares) I’d trawl e-Bay for a one-generation-back commodity router on the OpenWRT support list that does have 4GB+ flash and 32GB+RAM and doesn’t have a &$@*$! Broadcomm chip in it, buy it, and flash OpenWRTs latest stable release.

This is the blogpost in a nutshell. Save yourself some time.

Why does someone need 32G of Ram for home router?

Is it a typo?

You are both right. Based on a comment, GB was a early typo that was then corrected to MB.
