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.
