Hardware and Performance / Hardware needs for free internet sharing

Hi everyone,
My brother has a cafe at a plaza and i have build the wireless network in order to provide free access to people there. The last 4 years i was using monowall with basic captive portal (just a photo with logo, no authentication) on an Alix2d2. System was initially set up, minimum to no maintenance from my side, it was just working. Now the board is killed and i want to build another one with opnsense
My needs are:
-traffic shapping for max lets say 200 clients
-basic captive portal with splash page,no authentication
-transparent proxy, with web filtering
-wan is a dsl 24mbps up/1024kbps down, in reality ~9mbps down/700kbps up
-4 wireless APs connected to a switch
-opnsense will sit between modem and switch
Can you propose any vfm board/small system i could use? I would prefer a small factor board/box and not to build a pc (power consumption and component failure avoidance).
Thanks and nice to find you (again after monowall
)
