"To become a guard, a relay has to be stable and fast (at least
2MByte/s) otherwise it will remain a middle relay."
https://community.torproject.org/relay/types-of-relays/#guard-and-middle-relay

Note that 2 MByte/s equals 16 Mbit/s. Also, take in consideration that
the minimum requirement for a relay is currently 10 Mbit/s. You might
be better off running a bridge instead.
