> some of the newer products seemed less powerful than older ones

Cynic in me thinks it's because they don't want you to buy one product and be set for a decade, like HN-er here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46373387. Older products might've been too good.

I think the GL-X3000 could be the daddy for power users and any eventuality: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-x3000/

Not sure if you're talking in the context of travel routers, but if you're not, the Flint 2 is always a solid pick.
