 I may try Proxmox in the future, there is currently no compelling reason for me to do so at this time.
-My current router has an Intel N3700 CPU, maximum 8GB ram, procured in 2016, which in 2023 is becoming slow and resource limited.  I also run a VM with Docker containers for a backup Bind9 DNS and backup Kea DHCP.  As my upstream (WAN) internet speed is about 65Mb/s down and 17Mb/s up this router is still suitable for purpose. I suspect it will not be limiting until the available WAN speeds are above 500 - 1000Mbps. I expect to get fibre WAN access to my house early 2024, but at this time pricing for the top Gbps speed package are still too expensive for me. I expect when internet connectivity speed goes above 250Mb/s the router capacity may become limiting.  <fs small>(I am currently 2023/2024 eyeing an Intel i5-1335U as a possible replacement, this is much fast overall and should easily handle multi Gb/s internet traffic, as well as more complex resource intensive Docker instances.)</fs>
+My current router has an Intel N3700 CPU, maximum 8GB ram, procured in 2016, which in 2024 is becoming slow to use, but still functions well as a sub gb/s router.  I also run a VM with Docker containers for a backup Bind9 DNS and backup Kea DHCP on this machine.  As my upstream (WAN) internet speed is about 265Mb/s down and 23Mb/s up this router is still suitable for purpose. I suspect it will not be limiting until the available WAN speeds are above 1000Mbps. <fs small>(I am currently 2023/2024 eyeing an Intel i5-1335U or N305 as a possible replacement, this is much fast overall and should easily handle multi Gb/s internet traffic, as well as more complex resource intensive Docker instances.)</fs>  Sadly the N3700 AS2400 BMS seem to be unreliable now. I can only login to the BMS after a long shutdown and the machine often fails to reboot reliably.  Due to the age of the hardware it is not worth the cost to repair.  I will need to get a replacement soon.
 My main home server is based upon an Intel Atom C3750 server, this is still currently adequately meeting my needs. I have upgraded with a 2.5Gb/s PCIe card.  I have not been able to find a good replacement for this machine at this time.  It was designed as a server, again an i5-1335U is in many ways superior, CPU cores and threads, CPU and memory speed and bandwidth, however memory is not ECC and memory is limited to 64GB, neither of which is probably a problem for me, as I am currently only using 32GB. Power consumption is similar. The biggest problem is that I have not been able to date find an i5-1335U motherboard with 4+ SATA ports and PCIE expansion slot, most are laptop boards, router boards or industrial embedded type boards that do not have the functionality that I am after.  I also still operate an older Intel Atom C2750 as a back-up server. This gets started by the main server once a week to run a Restic back-up with a Python script I wrote.
