Great question; rephrasing it for personal needs: in terms of durability, what is the 2022 equivalent of Linksys WRT54GL [1]? Something that supports open source firmware and will serve me for 5-10 years?
Or, since I have modest needs (ethernet is around 100Mbps; wifi should handle 2 simultaneous Zoom sessions well enough) and I like time-tested solutions: what's a somewhat older but sturdy router that is still worth buying today?
Turris Omnia ( https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/ ) kind of fits your bill, but it's more 2020 than 2022. The main downside is that it doesn't support WiFi6, so you're stuck with 3x3 MIMO 802.11ac.
It runs a modified OpenWrt, TurrisOS, which is open source.
They're a bit on the pricey side, so "worth buying" from that perspective will be up to you.
