"Exotic" hardware and VLANs are not "get easily on 44Net". Seriously, at the speeds the average non-BGP-advertised ham needs, a Pi4 with an additional USB-connected Ethernet port will work just fine and meet any necessary performance goals and be the most approachable format for both connecting wires and online help availability. Given that, in general, you can't buy the older Pis anymore I would think most people are getting a Pi4.

Another great option, with a x64 compatible CPU and 3 or 4 real gigabit ports, M2 SSD and optional mini-PCIe extensions (e.g. WiFi, LoRa or 3G+).

Use the native 1GbE port on an RPi4B or Rock64 with VLANs and this makes a very competent router that is rock-solid.
