I'm looking to buy one for my parents that I can put DD-WRT Merlin on. They're having the T-Mobile TM-AC1900 that Merlin no longer support years ago, but running very stable. Any advice from knowledgable mind?

On one hand, I think the WiFi 7 routers are too early and MLO support is both a mess and seemingly unnecessary but some people are making a fuss over it. But on the other hand, if all you really need is long term support, I would think upgrading to a more modest WiFi 7 router makes sense over draining $300 for this. Not because its Wi-Fi 7 but purely because its newer.
RT-BE86U may be dual band but I honestly couldn't care less about 6GHz band. I don't even have a a 6GHz supported device personally. RT-BE92U if you really just have to go tri band. I like running Merlin too so these would be your most entry level WiFi 7 routers supporting Merlin.
