Friendly reminder that OpenWrt supports Raspberry Pi and every Pi from 3 onwards makes for a great, inexpensive router. Adding WiFi can be done with any off-the-shelf WiFi router or access point, brand new or second hand. Since they aren’t exposed to the Internet, remote vulnerabilities are significantly mitigated.
I thought OpenWRT doesn’t support modems due to licencing issues.
So, I guess you would need a separate modem, or ISP router in bridge mode, or double NAT with OpenWRT being DMZ
I got fed up with trying to find the right firmware each time. It was too much of a hassle. Then small issues with the one I had… you need an earlier version… I love the idea, it was just a pain.
Friendly reminder that OpenWrt exists, and is probably safer than the stock firmware in any consumer router.
From a quick look, I see that at least one of the affected models has official OpenWrt support: the RT-AC68U

Yup. I use a CM4 with a DFRobot router board running openwrt. Works great.
