You can already buy those. They seem to commonly be referred to in online stores as ‘pocket wifi’. Just stick a sim card in them and you can manage their settings through any connected device with a web browser.

You can’t use them as a phone though. And dumb phones that do somehow support tethering don’t do so at modern speeds.

Can't also use those as a phone, though, which I think the parent comment was intending.
