Below is are some lists of things to install.  Everything will fit on a WRT32X.  Most will fit on a WRT3200ACM (if done in the correct order (biggest to smallest groups, see below) and individually, they'll all fit).  But it will be a tight squeeze to fit everything on the lower end AC Series.  Dependencies are not listed, but will be installed when the various items are installed.

This is on a separate line because the version number may change: opkg install libustream-mbedtls20150806 (REMEMBER, the "WOLFSSL" package will need to be removed first, but don't do it yet.  First manually download the file for libustream-mbedtlsXYZversion, then after that file has been downloaded, remove the "WOLFSSL" package, then install the "BMEDTLS" version, because if you remove the "WOLFSSL" package first, it will 'CrapCan' the OPKG utility and prevent it from downloading anything.)
