Why can't you use FIDO2 hardware keys on a router? I have a PC running openBSD as a Router and I can use hardware keys.
So you are running a full-fledged OS on a standalone computer that functions as a router. An actual router has a very limited operating system with no such functionality, plus it's always online by design, so you'd basically have to have a key that is permanently plugged in; or depending on the setup you'd have to re-authenticate ever so often. Not exactly great considering most routers are hidden somewhere in an inaccessible corner.
It's nothing fancy I just needed more CPU power on my router. I'm not saying it makes sense to use a hardware key to access the internet on router level, I'm just saying it works.
openBSD is actually kinda common base for routers. Also why would I hide a router in some inaccessible corner?
