No idea, but you could always just get ANY router, and mount it to board/plate, and mount THAT to the existing wall anchors. The easiest thing would be to take a tape measure to the store, and measure some...not even sure if that's listed in any of the router specs./dimensions.

duct tape?

There's a lot of neat arm devices with killer specs to include wifi, that you could use as a router. cubox-i or utilite, among others. The utilite has 2x 1gig ethernet ports and wifi, although pricey for the beefy one. Fanless, extended temperature range, and stuff.

Atm I use an asus rt-n12 as my wireless via ethernet device to an asus rt-n16 that goes to the ISP connection. The rt-n12 has holes that line up at 5" according to a 3"x5" index card I had near it.

I like that idea. I'll have to look into that.
