Wireless management - many access points

I have around 30 OpenWRT access points in our building (plenty of them are old Linksys). It's time to update our wireless network. Some of old APs will be replaced with TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750. Problem is that maintain 30+ access points is quite quite time consuming (if you want to change passwords, you have to do this on each access point ...). Is there any solution for managing many access points. I found OpenWISP but their documentation is pretty poor.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for your reply.

Did you know if there is any documentation or tutorial for openmesh? They support just their routers, and I would like to use my TP-Link AC1750

Is possible to set up Ubnt unifi with TP-Link and Gargoyle?? Did anyone already try that?
