You can also filter yourself according to your needs: https://openwrt.org/toh/views/toh_performance_details?dataflt[Power+Supply*~]=poe&dataflt[WLAN+5.0GHz*~]=n&dataflt[Ethernet+Gbit+ports_*~]=5

That's the only device that is supported by OpenWrt AND matching 5/6 of your criteria.

If this device is too expensive, you have to adjust your criteria, e.g. remove the PoE requirement and you will get more suitable devices.

See also https://openwrt.org/faq/which_router_should_i_buy and describe your usecase a bit more detailed.
