Here, let me help.
Less than 20 USD.
Like I said. Not willing to even try to look for something appropriate for your use case.....
That's an auction, my dude. It's already at $26, not including the $22 shipping charge.

Smart appliances are so pointless. Does my toaster make toast? Yes? Then why the hell does it need WiFi access!?

So it's a skill issue, then? Got it. Any old PC + a $10 pcie network adapter can be turned into a router capable of it.
You need to readjust your point of view, friend. It's not a skill issue. It's a "most people don't have the kind of experience necessary to even begin to understand what goes on inside the magic internet box" issue. You're speaking on a completely different level.
- The average Joe doesn't possess that capability in the slightest. It's just Joe from Finance. The only time they interact with a computer in any meaningful capacity is at work, where IT fixes their problems.
- The average Joe is someone who declares "the wifi is broken" when they forget the password to their online banking portal.
- The average Joe will take their kid's stick-drifting Nintendo Switch to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and get upsold a Switch 2 instead of listening to their kid and getting it fixed at the local repair shop next door for $50.
Do you see where I'm going with this?

It's not elitism to say "If you want something done right, do it yourself."
Elitism?
Dude. I am an almost 50 year old, former truck driver with no formal education on any of this shit, and yet, I managed to figure it out.
If you can't, then that's most assuredly a YOU problem.
SURELY you're smarter than a truck driver?
Elitism?

"I, a person of a low status, figured it out. Therefore I am better, and you're stupid and lower than me if you can't do the same thing"
That's literally elitism, my dude. You're acting as if figuring out a specialty task somehow puts you on a higher pedestal than others who don't happen to have that same skillset.
Like, you did a thing, good for you, but now you're being an absolute assclown about it and pulling up the ladder instead of being even remotely helpful.

how else are you supposed to reprogram the resistive display to burn smiles into the toast?

A door to what is arguably the most valuable item you own.
CNC milling machine?

CNC milling machine?
Well...I mean....if that's where you keep your CNC milling machine (I would hope), yeah.

It takes a special kind of router to have such settings
Eh, most good quality routers from reputable companies can handle separate VLANs just fine. My old Asus RT-N66U had that capability right out of the box.
But, as already stated, most people don't even change the default password on their router, much less know what a VLAN even is.

I haven't seen "advanced" settings like this on consumer tplink and asus routers, only on business grade tplinks, when considering these brands. but I also wouldn't consider those that I often see to be good quality, so there's that.
