Hi everyone,
Can anyone recommend AC/AX router for a hot environment, where in the hottest days the temperature reaches 60°C. The only other requirement is gigabit ports.
Maybe something with hardware acceleration and weak, cool CPU?

I'm sorry but... what are you talking about?
Do you really think the max operating temperature for a standard router is 50c... if that was true nobody in the southern hemisphere would ever be able to have a router.
Here's some ACTUAL information. Max operating temperature is defined by tj max. e.g. the popular MT7986 SOC has a tj max of 125c: https://cdn.hackaday.io/files/1861277963257568/MT7986A_Datasheet_1.15.pdf (see page 18)
Qualcomm is generally around 105-115c. So basically it's a non issue regardless of what your ambient temp is. Most CPU from AMD/Intel have a tj max of just over 100c (normally 105c).
I know you post alot here and I'm glad for that but man you don't have to be in literally EVERY thread specially when the information is borderline harmful to anyone searching. If you don't actually know concrete info on the subject then don't post.

How that maps to operating ambient temperature in router specification?
Unless you beat maximums normal router will work at +50, but not in black case within reach of sun.
I've decided on Cudy WR3000S, based on great OpenWRT support, local availability and @gameinn's Mediatek temperature data.
Well, that is not the surrounding ambient temperature, but one permitted inside cpu core. It will be 20-30C less permitted under heatsink, then under free convection it is supposed to maintain that using 40C fresh air.
Router is essentially a 10-25w heater where you must move air along to keep inner temperature in check.
There were some mi router 3 (100mbps mt7628 16/64) without liquid capacitors. That has better chance of long 60c survival.
EDIT: if on sale 5 bucks would be plenty for this
