   If I've understood correctly, turning the RPi into an access point would   
   do half of what you want.  I installed OpenWRT on an RPi4 a few weeks ago,   
   and it was very successful as an AP, although the need for it didn't last   
   long (my son installed a new mesh network, which gave whole house   
   coverage).  Note that the RPi4 only does one wifi band; I don't know the   
   RPi5.   
      
   I'm not an expert on OpenWRT, so you'll need to web search for information.   
      
   As for the other half of what you want, there might be enough processing   
   power left over.  You haven't given us any detail of what you want to do   
   in that regard.
