Connecting cell phone to router?

It looks like there is a buncha stuff on Amazon that can make this happen but I wasn't sure which item to buy. I'd like the ability to connect my android cell phone with USB-C cable to my router after turning on the phone's hotspot functionality and then use the router to extend the range.
What do I need to buy to make this happen?
Thanks

I will answer my own question. Easier than I thought. Take a USB-A to USB-C cable to any old router running OPEN-WWRT which has a USB port. Update so that you can make USB port interface show. Basically that is it.

You can also do this with FreshTomato firmware, DD-WRT and some stock firmware. I believe Asus stock does it as well.

I have been thinking of trying this, too.
