Its not the routers but something you are doing or something in your home electric system or INTERNET service or modem that is ruining them, assuming you are correct and they are ruined.
You ruined 40 to 80 years worth of routers in 2 years, assuming a replacement every 5 to 10 years.
As stupid as this may sound/and VERY long shot, I wonder if you ever changed the Ethernet cables, one bad cable can screw everything up until you move it to replace a router, once moved it makes proper contact for a while, then bugs out again.
