Ask HN: What's a solid, non-mesh/-repeater/-cloud WiFi-GbE bridge ~100 USD?

I'm looking for a compact, reliable 5 GHz WiFi-bridge that either has 1 Gigabit port that can bridge multiple Ethernet MAC addresses or 4x 1 GbE ports that can do the same. So far, I've tried numerous products from TP-Link, Linksys, and Netgear but I don't want to have to deal with a used Cisco IOS AP or anything cloud/mesh with $$ licensing, backdoored/never updated firmware, analytics, added complexity, or corporate kill-switches. I'm ambivalent to F(L/B)OSS, while open to any stable platform. I also have an occasional need for a solid single Ethernet client WiFi bridge, but all the ones I've found so far (purpose-built and travel routers) suffer from unusable, unstable pathologies. C'mon HN, these can't be unique use-cases.
