This device will tank when used as a router, and has more ports than the OP needs

 

 

Nonsense. It has more than double the routing performance of the hEX S refresh linked above by @michaelmurfy which is also broadly suitable for routing gig.

Something to consider for the future, when I pull finger and get a rack set up.  Right now ... I need a router that fits within a 20" inwall network cabinet (roughly 350 x 550 x 80 internal room).

How easy/hard is the Grandstream management software to use?

 

Very easy and feature packed too. I've deployed a bunch of them now.
