Could you build this?

No The product depends on OpenWrt board support for a specific MediaTek chipset and carrier hardware, which needs kernel, driver, and bootloader work well beyond vibe coding.

What it would actually take: A real version requires porting OpenWrt to the MT6990/MT7990 platform, including device trees, Wi-Fi driver integration, and flash layout for the Air 6 hardware. It also needs the device's proprietary firmware and bootloader details, plus embedded Linux kernel expertise and physical hardware for testing.
