OpenWRT/LEDE binary, Just shell on.. opkg update, -i what you need..., netstat -antop | grep EST this will surprise you, dest will surprise you more then I  put in the green wheely.  On the WAN link you may see lots of src privates indicating typical dinky rtr/fw nat not coping similarly actual/true $paid for bandwidth at src (home) = rubbish + legit flows. rubbish flows (in/out) of breaks packet concurrency increasing delays and maxin out (netflix/gaming stream) PDVs on clients - recommend filter|block upstream of router will lead to a huge improvement in media quality and performance of your home router.

good luck - regards brian
