The problem with these routers is that there is limited open source firmware support out there. You are not going to get security patches after say 4-5 years of owning them. I know at that point, people either upgrade or don't even realize they are running insecure firmware. I have yet to hear about someone owning an old router whose bank account got wiped out because of it, but it's probably not the best idea to run an outdated router.
Unforutnatley, people think that buying a whole new router or router system is the answer, but the better option is to just buy hardware that is supported by OpenWrt, DD-WRT, Fresh Tomato, etc.
I'm running a near 8 year old Netgear with OpenWrt. My internet is 300Mbps dl/ 30Mbps up, so I'm good for now. But had I not had compatible router, I would have had to throw it away several years ago.
I used one Deco near the PS5 upstairs because I can connect an ethernet cord from the Deco to the PS5. If I go directly from the router to the PS5 with a 75' ethernet cord I get 800Mbps. If I just use the Wifi I would get around 150 Mbps, but if I connect the upstairs Deco to the PS5, I get around 300 Mbps. So if you don't want a cord snaking through your house, the Deco to PS5 works great.
