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].
