Thumbs up Router options just moved

Hello, I've been quiet for a number of years yet still alive & kicking.

My question, over 21yrs I've been with virgin providing a sluggish 150 service (good riddens) moved over to Youfibre for 1 gig service, all that time with virgin using a tried & trusted wired Linksys router + switch which worked fine till I changed over.

1# Could I flash (firmware) the router to open software for future use? Yes I know it's 10/100 switch not a 1000+ Advice/tips

Its been a good while since I shopped for a router so what is out there preferred user wise from Linksys etc non wireless or with the wireless feature that I could permanently disable as I'm using a wired network. I've looked around used flashed Linksys gig versions/all bells & whistles types, the choices are rather near all the same but some any input will help. It has to be future proof so keep that in mind.

Just wanting to hear from others what works before I make the choice, staying away from 'smart'/wireless/cloud enhanced items.

Waiting to hear from anyone with a thought on this issue.
