No worries about that :) I just wanted to explain why some popular platforms are not well suited for a router and what the caveats are.

In your case a RPi would have the on-board Ethernet, second Ethernet for WAN (via USB adapter) and WLAN (via WiFi stick) on the same USB bus. All interfaces have to share the throughput of that bus.
