AFAIK you don't have to use it as a router. If you configure all the interfaces to LAN it should just act as a switch/AP combo.
At that point why not just use a ubiquiti/microtik ap though?
Maybe they just want to play with open WRT? Maybe they have extra hardware that they want to use as access points?
OP literally said they were looking for APs to use with their router/firewall
They said they were looking for privacy-focused, open source options. So get a Unifi AP and flash OpenWRT on it, and that fits the bill.
