Route IP subnet?

No. IPv4 addresses are defined as 32 bit numbers. So the most you can have is about 4.3 billion. There are currently many more Internet connected devices than that number, hence the issue. Various placeholder "solutions" such as NAT are currently being used to prevent complete exhaustion, but at some point everyone needs to start using IPv6, which has 128 bit addresses.

So what hardware would suit me??

This is a discussion forum, not a tech support forum. Your question was interesting to me for reasons other than the answer you are looking for, hence my comments. Other people may find my comments interesting also.

As to what hardware would suit you, I have no idea. I haven't attempted to do what you speak of.
