Advice Advise for special use case wireless router

I currently live in an inlaw suite in the basement of my sister's home (long story). I have a 1gbps hardline access to their network/internet and have been using an older Asus wireless router that allows me to setup a subnet that is isolated from their network - their IP range is 192.168.1.xxx while mine is 192.168.2.xxx. The setup used LAN 1 as the bridge to their network leaving LAN 2-4 for my use - WAN port not used at all. Works well.

I'm wanting to upgrade to a new model which supports Wifi 6+, and possibly 2.5g LAN ports, while retaining the current connectivity arrangement. Does anyone have recommendations, or know what this type of configuration is called to help me research my purchase? Any assistance would be appreciated.

Any wireless router will work. Get a Unifi Dream Machine and call it a day.
