It was pretty much plug-and-play.
I downloaded the OpenWrt image (about 6 MB in size) and navigated to the firmware update page on my router's web interface. Selected the image and it took roughly 5-10 minutes to install. All I had to do was update the default SSIDs and its passwords to match what I had before.
Awesome thanks, that gives me hope! The other thing is at the moment I lack internet haha, mobile only, but now I'll get moving on actually doing that and calling my dreaded local ISP vampires.
