Any privacy respecting alternatives to google WiFi? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi all, in the slow process of degoogling one of the key points for me would be to remove the pucks I have been using for a few years for the WiFi mesh network at home. I know of a few alternatives but not a single one that respects my privacy (not gonna get rid of google just to switch to amazon), that allows me control of the network locally without accessing some backend of some company or anything. I don't quite need access from outside the network if that makes it easier to find some option.

Any ideas? I'm also slowly building the blocks needed at home for self hosting a bunch of stuff, and those would need to have access to the outside network of course. Maybe that needs to be considered too?

Ah thanks! That's a great idea! I entirely forgot about the existence of openwrt, and anyway would have never thought that the google devices could accept it... I'm definitely going to try that and then slowly plan and learn about what I would need to start using the MoCA network and reduce the dependency on WiFi.
