I’m looking to get a new router, but all of the ones I’ve found try to force a mandatory internet connection/account creation to activate them without any bypass methods (at least that my searching could find).

Is there any way to get a new router to work without connecting an account to it? Or a way to bypass it? If not, is there a specific used router that might be more privacy friendly?

I don’t need anything special, it’s just home wifi.

    Yes. Look at Mikrotik offerings. You’ll need to have an understanding of networking, it’s not plug and play. But it’s fully self contained and powerful. No external accounts needed, just a local/device admin account and password.
