Sure. Sadly I don't have the proper tools around to do that. And in my case I wasn't too sad. These devices had 100mbps ethernet and a slow wifi standard. Now they're on e-waste and I got an upgrade to Gigabit ethernet and 5GHz wifi ๐
it could be easier though to make a slimmer custom build, without luci and other noncritical things
well there's a firmware selector page, wherr you can request additional packages. maybe it can also be used for removing some?
but if you build it yourself you can do any changes you want, too
