To make this usable by ordinary mortals, I'd recommend Tomato USB distros as an example of what can be done. Tomato is not fully open source unfortunately (the GUI is closed I think) but it's a great example of what an open source GUI and router distro can look like.
Can FreedomBox be an alternative to commercial home routers?
