Are there any routers supported by OpenWrt that can handle 1Gbps WAN to LAN? My current router only pulls 150Mbps and I want to keep OpenWrt due to the amount

  EdgeRouter gets pretty close running OpenWrt. And hits your mark if you keep the stock firmware. No wifi though. https://an.undulating.space/post/180927-er_alternate_firmware_benchmarks/ https://an.undulating.space/post/180927-er_alternate_firmwar... Maybe the Turris Omnia if you need WiFi and aren't worried about cost: https://omnia.turris.cz/en/ https://omnia.turris.cz/en/ The NetGear R7800 would be somewhere between the two in cost, and reportedly does GB for wired, somewhat less over WiFi. Pretty easy to find used ones for $100USD too.

    Looks like EdgeRouter X fits my requirements and is pretty cheap (50Eur). Thank you!

  WRT3200acm Or build a x86 box.

  What custom config ? If you need sqm with gigabit, x86 would be a safe bet. If you want just raw throughput without additional processing, others will do that fine.

  Check Netgear devices.

  Try looking at the fast path module.[0] Your router might have some kind of Qualcomm NAT accelerator chip[1] that isn't natively supported/distributed by OpenWRT.[2] You'll have to compile your own build of OpenWRT, so it might be a bit difficult to get going. I haven't needed to do it, because my WAN connection is only 50 Mbps.
