I currently have a mesh (wired) google wifi setup but want to switch so something… not google. Preferably wifi 6 but I don’t need anything insane.

Cheap is good but I also want to be able to basically ignore it for the next 10 years.

    If you’re not looking to segregate your network or any other “advanced” network feature, you can’t really get better value that Tplink Deco.

    Edit: I misunderstood what the op was asking for. This answer is not valid for that.

        I apologize. I misunderstood that you were looking for a mesh system that would work with an existing openwrt router. Seems what you’re looking for is a mesh system that can be flashed with openwrt.

        For that I can only suggest that you look at the supported hardware table and see if you can find what you need.

        Editing my previous comment for my mistake.

          It was still a good suggestion thanks. Something with openwrt is preferred but anything that’s not google is an improvement.

            You have the option to get a solid hardware that you can install openwrt on, and then use the Deco mesh just for the Wifi. That’ll give you similar, if not the same results, and save you a few bucks in the process.
