This is possible if you use the routers2 frontend.  You need to set
routers.cgi*Options[targetname]: fixunit
which will prevent the 'k' or 'M' prefix.  Then, set
Factor[targetname]: 0.000001
ShortLegend[targetname]: Mb/s
and this will divide by 1000000 and display everything with an Mb/s suffix.
Effectively, this will then show everything as Mb/s.
If you are also using the 95thPercentile/Totalling feature, you will need
routers.cgi*TotalLegend[targetname]: Mb
so that it is totalled with the correct units.
