For less money than some gaudy gaming wireless router that you end up replacing every 3 years, you can grab a Mini PC with two NICs, a wireless access point, and install OpnSense.
Your life will be irrevocably changed for the better.
Eh, mini-PCs weren’t designed for that. Just buy an OpenWRT compatible router, or a router designed for OpenWRT like the ones from Turris. It’s better to have hardware designed for this kind of application.

Only go this route if you’re looking for a new hobby.
Not possible for every device, plenty of TP-Link xDSL modem/routers out there.

Some are clearly designed for just that.
