Anyone has done mesh WiFi (ideally triband) using off the shelf parts and Linux?

I have an Orbi AX system which works reliably, but now I want to upgrade the radio to WiFi 7 and that means I need to upgrade all the hardware.

Hoping to move to using off the shelf parts so in the future I can just change the radio (ideally bunch of USB sticks).

I understand this is not strictly just the router. I can (and used to have) a router as separate device, but any mesh WiFi right now that I can find need a pricy router that acts as the coordinator, essentially negates the economic benefits.
