TP-Link ER605 router for $60 does Multi-WAN properly as well.

Yes, but they don't happen that often. There are lots of consumer routers right now that are exposed. It really depends on how bad it is. Some of the vulnerabilities are difficult to implement.
The one TP-Link router I ran had terrible firmware as it was not well written. They never even fixed it before they outdated the hardware.
I'll take a look into it and see if it also does OpenVPN.
o you know if it works well for Multi-wan setup exclusively for Failover/Failback
Good luck with getting it work without hitting a firmware bug.
Cisco RV34x hardware is very slow as well. Offload extra features on different more capable hardware. What you need here is something to do Dual WAN functionality well.
A cheap TP-Link or ER-X router can deal with Dual-WAN only, own router behind can do the rest.
I think you are talking about keeping hardware for single purpose use, though that may not be best for me.
The cisco RV routers do not have Log4J vulnerabilities. I have looked.I can appreciate the exposures are common at the consumer level, and want to ensure I'm buying into hardware whose mfg takes security seriously and keeps it current. When the Log4J vulnerabilities became public last month, I went right out and checked firmware for my router and Access Points. In my mind those are the two locations I am most concerned about keeping security current.
My observation on the evolution of cyber security issues is that we've moved from targeted corporations who have specific data, to now just about any corporation and infrastructure. Who thought a corporation dealing with little of interest (say making brooms) would be a real target. I think that it is only a matter of time before individuals are targeted beyond those already having ransomware... and of course, all the additional entry points to individuals through IoT, etc.
Seems like you were giving recommendations on Cisco Firepower firewalls that you have never even run 1.I got it working on release firmware. Don't give recommendations for things you don't know. You may have seen one TP-Link router, I've seen many.
