I use one of these.

Plug the USB into an Android phone or USB 3g/4g dongle and it will allow
Wifi clients to access the internet via the phone. You can put the phone
in hotspot mode to do that already. Plug the ethernet port into your
ethernet router and your ethernet clients can access the internet via
the phone. It has a firewall/NAT so the internet side is isolated even
if you plug its ethernet port into your LAN.

You can also use it as a Wifi repeater. This is how I normally use mine.
Run it from a USB powerpack, it runs for hours and hours. Place it
hidden and you can extend the typical free Wifi found in holiday hotel
reception areas back to your hotel room instead of paying the extra for
room Wifi. Recover it and charge the USB pack up when you are out for
the day ready for more Wifi leaching!

You can put stock OpenWrt on it but mine has Rooter (a customised
OpenWrt) installed.

This would do everything you need and runs a ready rolled Wifi
distribution. You buy, install OpenWrt or Rooter and you're done. Less
satisfying that rolling your own complete solution but sometimes you
just need the solution without having to reinvent it.

The name on OpenWrt is A5-V11.
