From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Thanks! openwrt works on these?
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.
