These appear to have some DD-WRT and OpenWRT support, but YMMV.

Heavy use (say, 3–4 simultaneous 4K streams at 20 Mb/s each on the top floor AP) could potentially choke that 2×2 link. Your other floors would likely be fine though. However, I'd reccomend that If you want faster, more consistent speeds without pulling Ethernet, go tri-band wifi 6 or better. I like the Velop MX4200 or MX5300 sets. They pop up on Woot, cost more usually, but their dedicated 5 GHz back-haul keeps ~70-80 % of your bandwidth at every node (through each floor). They are a bit pricier than the Atlas system here though, where this is $36, and a used Mx4200 or 5300 3 pack is probably around $100 (ebay).
The Atlas Pro 6 sits in between the options here with a wider 4×4 pipe but still dual-band, so floor-to-floor hops can still bottleneck. For seamless multi-floor performance, I'd reccomend you to stick with something tri-band Wi-Fi 6, or just go with this if you dont want to spend the ~$100+ for a tri band system.
Linksys should just make more 1301's at this point. People would buy loads of them for $50, slap openwrt on them, linksys doesn't even have to care about the firmware. They'd print money.

Are these not a better deal FastEther?
