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?

- krfsm 5y agoTurris Omnia ( https://www.turris.com/en/omnia/overview/ 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. Edit: Turns out there might be a 2022 version which would fit your bill (except the time tested part), but it's not launched yet. https://forum.turris.cz/t/turris-omnia-2022/15995/144 https://forum.turris.cz/t/turris-omnia-2022/15995/144 https://twitter.com/turris_cz/status/1448535213626200066 https://twitter.com/turris_cz/status/1448535213626200066
