But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt

That's a huge fucking red flag and I would yeet any network equipment responsible for fudging such a thing.

No doubt, and I would really love someone with more knowledge than me to poke into why that was going on (*edit: for clarity, this behaviour stopped after installing OpenWRT and is the stock Mi firmware that causes this)
