According to Flush dnsmasq dns cache:
dnsmasq is a lightweight DNS, TFTP and DHCP server. It is intended to provide coupled DNS and DHCP service to a LAN. Dnsmasq accepts DNS queries and either answers them from a small, local, cache or forwards them to a real, recursive, DNS server. This software is also installed many cheap routers to cache dns queries. ...

Since there are no init scripts on DD-WRT, I guess this would be the easiest way to restart dnsmasq:
Kill dnsmasq:
root@ddwrt6:~# killall dnsmasq
Start dnsmasq:
root@ddwrt6:~# dnsmasq --conf-file=/tmp/dnsmasq.conf

No. For so many reasons. One obvious one:
802.11 = 2.4, 3.6, or 5 GHz
X band = 8-12 GHz
K band = 18-27 GHz
Ka band = 26.5 - 40 GHz
Layman's explanation of the above: The router cannot "tune" to the needed frequencies.
(Then there's the DSSS vs burst detection, etc, etc, etc...)

This isn't related to BusyBox. BusyBox is a set of unix utilities designed for low-resource environments such as routers. Your router's root filesystem is mounted read-only because it's stored on SquashFS, a compressed filesystem which cannot be written to. A SquashFS filesystem is compressed in one go when the filesystem is built and cannot be modified ...

Don't change the daemon to run as root. Change the permissions on the folder where your daemon has to write so that it is allowed to do so.
Assuming it's running as user transmission, run something like this as root:
chown transmission /mnt/data/torrents/downloads
chmod u+rw /mnt/data/torrents/downloads

I don't think you can do this. The "/" filesystem in DD-WRT is Squashfs, although that's not easy to find out. That means that during a build of DD-WRT, a whole filesystem image gets set up, and then compressed in some manner, which renders it immutable. That way, the root filesystem fits in a router's small amount of flash.
A few config files are on ...

I did some more Googling and found found this post
http://forum.pinguyos.com/Thread-Ubuntu-Intel-Wireless-Driver-Crashes-DD-WRT
It does seem to fix my issue.
echo "options iwlagn 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlagn.conf
sudo modprobe -rf iwlagn
sudo modprobe -v iwlagn
sudo service network-manager restart
I do still have my router set to BG ...

iptables -I INPUT -i ppp0 --dport 21 -j DROP is syntactically wrong (it lacks of protocol specification), therefore we can assume it just silently fails. This one is correct:
iptables -I INPUT -i ppp0 --dport 21 -j DROP -p tcp
so give it a try instead.

Well, unfortunately I haven't found a simple way to do this otherwise I would give you some examples; however, the tc command will do what you need.
Tc is a traffic shaping utility that is built into the Linux kernel. Be prepared, it isn't for the faint of heart. I recommend doing a good bit of reading about the queuing disciplines before starting.
At the ...

You can't do this in a sane way for Google search queries.
Why? Google is using HTTPS (SSL) everywhere now. All traffic between the endpoints (browser & Google server) is encrypted and checked for integrity.
The only way to read (let alone modify) encrypted traffic is changing it at or beyond on one of the endpoints. Suggestions in the direction of ...

There are many *WRT distribution variants, and different devices are set up in different ways, so I'm not sure whether this applies to your configuration, but it probably does.
The basic *WRT configuration has a read-only root filesystem, so it cannot save customizations in the filesystem. Instead, the startup loads various (variant-dependent) settings from ...

I'd like to point towards OpenWRT. While I don't know which hardware item would be best suited for your case, many of the not-too-low-spec'ed devices are supported by OpenWRT.
They've got a B.A.T.M.A.N. wiki page and I suspect batman-adv and batctl are prebuilt (i.e. installable via opkg install batman-adv).
The open-mesh.org people also give instructions ...

Are you sure it is doing nothing? If you are changing the IP, when the appliance changes the IP, the URL you have entered is no longer valid, and active AJAX connections will fail calling the same IP. After you make the change, wait about 30 sec, then punch in the IP you assigned into the address bar and reload.

You can use the tc command to accomplish this. If you'd like to rate-limit a single host, there's a quick guide here:
Rate limiting a single host or netmask
If you'd like a more comprehensive setup (for example, to guarantee prioritized traffic to VoIP), DD-WRT's supports setting up QoS rules directly via its user interface. Look here:

Until you determine, what type and size of Flash ROM is used in the device, you should not risk flashing it with anything other than dedicated firmware. Atheros chipsets are very common across a wide range of wireless devices and the sole fact of using a particular chip does not guarantee that the entire device will work correctly with your firmware. The ...
