Do any of TP-Link's mesh routers support OpenWrt? I didn't think there was overlap between the "easy to set up for my parents" and "easy to install custom firmware" subsets.

From what I could tell in the admin panel, those mesh routers _are_ OpenWRT. And they have an advanced section where you can upload a firmware .bin.

OpenWRT runs well on Deco M5 with a custom build.
