Rebuilding Busybox for your vendor provided target environment might be tricky. You'll need to reproduce a matching toolchain (kernel headers, libc configuration, etc.), and/or build a static Busybox image, which is less space efficient. An easier alternative might be installing LEDE[1] or OpenWRT[2] if your target hardware is supported[3][4].
