Answer 3

Of the budget pieces of iron, point 2 is able to ASUS RT series routers.
As a matter of fact, if your Netgear does not know how to do this, you will not do it in any way without wrapping all the traffic, for example, through your computer.

Answer 4

It seems to me that OpenWRT can do this. Unfortunately, I can't back up what I'm saying.

Answer 5

dd-wrt is down, but is netgear flashing? If I were you, I would consider using a hypervisor on one of the PCs, inside which I would install the software gateway from the first post. Or some pfsense , there are enough analogues.
