Perhaps you could try out to find a Linux based router solution like OpenWRT
or another one. -
@Dobby_ But this device have double GUI, from Glinet and can enter in OpenWRT GUI advanced settings. Like me understanding, it is Linux based device!

With any ARM platform you need to have an image that targets it specifically or at least something very close.
You might be able to build something like armbian for it using the FDT and maybe boot loader files from OpenWRT.
I didn't see anything else that targets that device specifically in a quick look.
