I noticed this app on F-Droid but have no experience with it. Maybe it’ll suit your needs

Be prepared for your router to not work until you figure out how to set stuff up. So hopefully this isn’t your only router. I converted a router to OpenWRT and my knowledge of networking was super basic. It was very confusing but I did get it working in a few days.
