  No, off the shelf routers are usually ARM and opnsense is x86 only.

    …or MIPS…

  This seems like it’s geared toward higher power hardware that’s not generally available on a consumer-grade router.

    You could buy a $300 consumer router and it would be worse than just using an old PC with OPNsense.

      Except that the old PC is probably less efficient at a lower clock than an AR based consumer router. You’ll get more performance and features, but it will be more expensive to run.

        The Fujitsu Futro S720 consumes about 6 Watts and it’s great for OPNsense!
