Straight off the bat your going to need something with a sfp+ pets so you can slot a suitable module in.
Then you need processing power for routing 3gb asking with any other processing.
Or maybe this. Has 2 x 10gbe ports and 2 x 2.5gbe.
Introducing Amazon eero Max 7 tri-band mesh Wi-Fi router | Up to 9.4 Gbps, connect 200+ devices, coverage for up to 232 m², 2023 release https://amzn.eu/d/9BtK97K
For the money it looks really good. Few negatives.

Amazon's Eero Max 7 Is Bigger and Better, But It’s Pricier Too
The new Wi-Fi 7 Eero mesh takes performance to the max but could also max out your credit card.

Pretty sure the UDM SE can do 3.5Gbps throughput, but you’ll have to use the 10Gbps SFP+ WAN2.

I’d personally build a small pc with dual port 10gb card and opnsense.

I'm eyeing up a Protectli Vault Pro VP2420, only 2.5gbe ports but I can't see me going faster than that for a long time.
Wanted to have ago at a little Pfsense router for a while now.
Dunno if power consumption is a factor to the op. Dunno if those small atom boxes can route 3gbs either

Grab a Lenovo Tiny M720q, you will need a PCI riser (£10 ish from Ali/ebay), a NVME SSD and you can fit in a dual 10Gb Card into it. Opnsense bare metal or Proxmox with Opnsense VM. Power around 18w depending on the model, i did the same and chose this route over the 4/6 port Chinese routers as support is a little rubbish, ie bios updates etc
Whats the hand off for the 3Gb Modem?
you will probably need a 10Gb switch of some sort and also a 10Gb card in your computer to utilise the speed.
3Gb speeds a little tricky, 2.5Gb speeds would have been perfect lol
I'm getting a 10gbe switch as all rooms have two rj45 sockets

There's a 10gb LAN port on the provided Technicolor, so you're better off getting a 10gb switch instead.
