Router for a LAN party?

Hello Reddit.

I am looking for a router for a LAN party with 230 gamers. However I would like a solution that could grow with us and maybe support up to 800 gamers.

The router I am looking at, at the moment is Mikrotik CCR1036-8G-2S+

I need to be able to do the following:

Setup QoS so that gaming is higher priority than web browsing for example.

Be able to see live traffic stats, and see if someone is using too much bandwidth (maybe locally), so that I can ban their Mac address or perfectly limit their internet speed.

Be able to limit internet speed for each user at for example 10 mbit (or the one above), but allow other users to share excess bandwidth and still follow Qos rules. So that no one is able to use up all the bandwidth.

Is the Mikrotik router the right choice, or what would you recommend? I would prefer to use a GUI to manage everything.

Thank you very much for your help.
