N is not modern in any sense of the word. I think 6 is more used then you would think. All ISP I know are giving out 6 access points and have for awhile.
I install residential and business internet for a living and I have yet to encounter a single AX AP operating in the wild (yes I check every time, and yes my devices support it). And our own routers only do N.
I personally don’t recommend the ath9k cards. There are a handful of routers they do not work with. You’ll have to disable QoS to stop the packet drops.
Atheros ath9k (and previously ath5k) has been 100% FOSS for many years.
Yes, but does that still count as “modern”?
ath9k supports N, so I’d consider it modern at least, since I think the vast majority of the population still use it.

We are already having wifi 6 routers being replaced with 6e capable ones.
Just don’t ask about how few of the devices used actually support 6ghz.
Are you sure you’re living in 2024?

that’s funny because my (wired) ISP router already has this problem, I can’t use ssh without setting IPQoS=0
My isp router is like that too, but on wifi. QCA9377 on an Actiontec mi424 rev I.
