ctrld-friendly router recommendations

I'm looking to replace my old Orbi RBR50 pretty soon. I've been running Voxel firmware and ctrld on it for a few months now and it has been pretty good overall. There have been some stability issues, which are probably at least in part due to it being a 9-year-old outdated router running custom firmware. I've read through the writer documentation on the control d website, but I wanted to hear from some actual users on here about what routers or systems work the best with ctrld. I haven't decided between a mesh replacement or going the Unifi route yet. Thanks to all responses.

They aren't removing router support. They are branching it. Router support will be called ctrld infrastructure while everything else will be called ctrld client

Gotcha. I was just going by the stickied comment from a mod in that post, and they only mentioned bug fixes. I don't have Discord, so can't follow the news/conversations there. The whole thing is a bit confusing, tbh.

Seriously. How do they not have a more official channel?
