OpenWrt enthusiast's choice; good value, but lacks 6GHz.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I went for a GL.iNet GL-AR300M16-Ext. Specifically want to use it to isolate IoT when home and then travel. >GL.iNet GL MT300N/V2 Mango Specifically didn't buy that one cause its 100mbps ethernet. Yeah...a router advertised as 300mbps with a 100mbps eth port

> I have one of their travel routers and it is bar-none the best bang for your buck of any router I've ever owned when it comes to features and usability. I was very pleasenetly supprised with the feature set of the GLI mini travel router when I got mine. Game changer on vacations. Connect to hotel Wifi once, family devices auto connect to the GLI, Split VPN tunnels puts their traffic through PIA and mine through the homelab Wiregaurd. No more device limits, captive portals, or crapy hotel TV chromecast that never seem to pair.
IMO, the UTR is a closer competition to the Opal, but provides a significantly better experience than that particular router. It's meant to be as small as possible, while providing just enough functionalities that matters to a travel router use case, plus integration with the Unifi ecosystem. GL.iNet's other solutions are more general and allows much more flexibility with their OpenWRT based OS but with that comes a certain degree of complexity (I mean theoretically you can run your whole home network off of a Beryl if you so choose).
Another vote for GL.inet. I have several and they work great.
How small you wanna go? Look at Gli-net's travel routers. I carry one in my luggage and they're great.

It’s what I do currently with a glinet travel rtr and a wyze cam. Shouldn’t be anyone in my hotel room while I’m gone. Not a one for one match for solution, but similar use case and result; and I get local recording on the SD card
