Welp, looks like I'm changing brands next time I buy a router.
Banana Pi R3 or R64 (OpenWRT). Some DIY assembly required but it will probably last you over a decade.
My favorite part about these is that they are unbrickable. There is no bootloader to permanently corrupt as the firmware that loads the flash chip is in mask memory and the firmware you load from OpenWRT is the bootloader + firmware. So even if the flash chip dies you can use the other flash chip on the board or with soldering skills replace it and re-flash it.
