My recommendation to the broader question of "router box to run NetBSD"

I'll second this recomendation. I'm also using one as my gateway
firewall. Currently running NetBSD 8.2-STABLE as an npf firewall.
I've successfully rewritten the BIOS on mine using flashrom on linux and
the brief test I did of the NetBSD version of flashrom suggests it ought
to work. It does correctly identify the BIOS flash chip successfully.
Here's a third recommendation for the APU2 systems. They are very nice
(although I am annoyed by the bios resetting my (real) serial terminal every
time it hands over to the operating system, making the terminal go through
it's boot-up reset cycle, but that's coreboot).
I'm also pretty sure that I updated the rom using flashrom(8) on NetBSD.
