        First post…  Suspiciously spammy...

        If this isn't spam, my apologies, but I really don't see the point.  This has a single 10/100 NIC which is likely hooked up via USB.  Based on the screenshot in your link, it's drawing about 5W (not counting PSU efficiency losses), a large portion from the GPU which likely can't be turned off, and it's only using one CPU core at that point.  Once it starts doing something you'll add another Watt or two.  By the time you added some Gigabit USB NICs to this, which aren't really recommended, you'd be a couple watts higher than that (and you'd have a bunch of dongles sticking out of the board).

        This board would make a great set top box with Plex or similar, but I just don't see it as a router.  Seems like you'd be better off with something like the APU board or even an Alix.

        I can break anything.

            PfSense will not run on this board so don't buy one for that purpose!

            To make any sort of recommendation we need to know your expected throughput.
