Best Routers for Privacy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.
