Is there a reason for this? Unless it has specific issues you'd like to fix, I'd just keep using the current router and simply disable its WiFi.
Would be from the assumptions that typical routers that do everything, tends to be underpowered. One thing I looked at was repurposing a second hand Fujitsu S920 for the task of being a router. But again, I am just spitballing, seeking inspiration.
"underpowered" routers are usually underpowered for multiple high bandwidth wireless connections. if you disable the wireless, shoving bits over copper would -usually- be efficient enough to not be the bottleneck.
I'm running this as my router. It handles a 500/500mbit connection over WireGuard for me without a problem. CPU usage can spike up to 80% when I push it as much as I can, so depending on how it scales I'm not 100% sure how it would handle 1gbit routing+vpn for example.
It might be underpowered, it might not be. Just test it out? Do you notice performance issues related to your router?
