consumer routers that can actually run the latest version of either of these cost around $200, which in my opinion is better spent on something more powerful and hacker friendly like Alix https://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm

I run a combination USB 2.4ghz AP and 5ghz pci-e from one. In addition, it runs a podman rootless pihole container and handles wireguard.
