depends, they usually have preconfigured the device so you plug it in and it works.
or you can get your own device and configure some settings for authentication etc.
other products and brands, could be netgear, but im a fan on tplink deco

1 run fibers
2 ethernet cable
3 p2p wireless bridge if a clear line of site
4 more powerful outdoor AP also if clear line of site

i wouldn’t do this, will add load onto the router, then i don’t want to hear the complaints…
just get a cheap nas eg from synology more suitable.
run a new ethernet cable to the edge or outside of the house and install a powerful outdoor AP they will have the range to cover the distance.

as you have a choice, always go with fibre, its cleaner and safer from lightning.
no idea what the current plan / speeds are?
if its broadband, and there is an option to upgrade to fibre and speeds.
also like others have said, check out the qos settings if it doesnt have, then may need to buy a router with qos features.
if ethernet or coax cable are not options, then sure wireless mesh. look at tp-link deco range
your brief is long, have you read the manuals from gl-inet or tplink travel routers and specs to see if they fit your needs.
your diagram works.
other options are, have every connection go back to the basement switch provided all the cable lengths are under 100 meters.
or have a switch on each level main and 2nd floor and connect them back to the basement switch.
Both the wif’s are on different network and managed by different technicians
have you asked the technicians as they are supporting it? and would know its setup.
with most home user connections, it would need to be configured for authentications, its not simply plug and pray.
obviously the best solution is to run an ethernet cable.
if one has coax cable already could use that with moca adapters.
also because its indoors and if there is a clear line of site, you could use p2p wireless bridge look at mikrotik wire, you could get close to 1gbs speeds.
best is fibre, then ethernet cables, then wireless p2p bridge; ubiquiti, tplink and mikrotik offer some good products
NanoBeam are good
ubiquiti are decent, then look at mikrotix, then tplink.
