Looking for advice on new build Quectel, no wifi, POE

I'm looking for a router that can use the Quectel EM12-G CAT 12 Modem.

I would like it to be POE powered and have a gigabit ethernet port. I do not need or want wifi as this will be a backup internet connection to my main home internet that already has wifi.

I will be using this device as IP passthrough, no dchp or wifi needed.

the NEXP1GO or WG3526-P Router look nice and have gigabit ethernet, but may be overkill for my needs.

the NEXQ6GO or WE826-T2 is nice but it doesn't have gigabit ethernet, only 100mbps.

Any thoughts?

NEXP1GO/WG3526-P. Done. Its always worked. It still works. I still can't find a killer router to replace it. Great even for 5G modems.

Turn off the Wifi radios, they are useless for you and they aren't great anyway. Waste of power really. I use dedicated WiFi access points.
