I have a modem. I connect the Ethernet cable from the modem into a wifi router.

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.

Okay why is your distro the best? by frostypanda in c/linux@programming.dev

It's not the best, but Pop OS because it's the only one that actually worked without any other setup (Mint didn't appear on my screen, and I couldn't find anyway to access a terminal or troubleshoot that). Starting to regret it, though, especially as the Pop community devolves into the Cosmic cult and 22.04 has more issues (some of my flatpaks refuse to open now, sometimes I get a black screen when starting the computer, bluetooth headphones no longer work, etc.).
