I would like to create my own router with OpenWRT and there are an overwhelming amount of hardware options by the likes of nanopi, bananapi, etc. Does this community have any recommendations? :)

Here are my requirements:

1.5Gbps support
I plan to connect a total of 3 access points to it (just using spare routers. One of them can support 1.5G)
either a port to connect a pihole or another way to set it up
ideally VLAN support but I can also use a guest network for a few smart devices
no plans to run a homelab off of this setup, so doesn’t need to be fancy
lower cost is preferred.
