Good wifi coverage, 8-year old buggy OS

I purchased this router 3 months ago. I've been working with Linksys customer support since that time to try to get them to fix a firmware bug with the USB ports (4TB USB drives are not supported). There has been no progress in that time. Last night I was advised by Linksys that I should return this router and buy a different model, since that bug still exists and new issues have come to light. Linksys customer support doesn't even think this is a good router :(
The wifi coverage of this router is awesome, it covers my whole house. The speed is nowhere near the advertised 866Mbps, but I get at least 300Mbps everywhere. With my 120Mbps internet connection, that is just fine with me.
The problems I have with this router are all due to the firmware. Keep in mind that this router updates itself...but, Linksys has failed to release a new firmware version since 1/30/2018.
This router runs an 8-year old version of Linux (2.6.36, released in 2010) which includes NONE of the major security fixes released in the past 2 years, and NONE of the fixes since 2010. This ancient OS also includes a known bug that prevents the usage of some 4TB USB drives (mine included). And the killer for me...a memory leak that requires the router to be rebooted at least once a week so that it continues to function.
I've been advised by Linksys customer support to return this router and buy an EA9300 or EA9500. I've purchased an extended warranty from Best Buy, so I will do this after I've saved up the difference.

Bought this instead over a $300+ router. Ping is lower with this router comparatively.
