MikroTik hAP ax3 seems to fit the requirements and is what I’m currently running. They add their enterprise features into the “consumer” packages, allowing you to set up VLANs, meshes, etc
I'm surprised more people in the selfhosting community aren't recommending Mikrotik.
Their cheapest routers have all the same software features as their enterprise gear. They're also one of the only companies who makes most of their routers and switches capable of being powered with POE in and redundant DC power.
All of their newer ARM based routers support running docker containers natively on the routers extra features. You can run PiHole/AdGuard, nginx, tailscale, etc. directly on your routers hardware.
I've been running a hexS for 3 years without any issues. I run multiple VLANs and wireguard directly on it, and it has an SFP port that I can use for an ONT module to get a fiber connection directly to my router from my ISP. I think it cost me $60 when I bought it.
Mikrotik are the best.
Recently installed a P2P link 60GHz with 5GHz backup for a customer, it can push 1000Mbps easily and only cost €150.
Did not know that about PiHole/Adguard but will definitely look into that.
