I do not recommend to change the firmware yourself without prior experience in this area. Chances to brick your device immediately are very high.
As of now it seems a good place to create your custom scripts within the /apps folder, which is writable and likely durable across reboots.
What's left is to figure out what mechanism your router-linux-distribution provides to call your scripts.
Since it's highly likely that some open source distribution is used, the first thing is to figure out which one it is(google, vendor homepage, product specifications, ...) and when the distribution name/type is found look/read for the possibillities for calling individual startup scripts.

This module provides access to firmware sets for the Intel PRO/Wireless 2100 series of IEEE 802.11 adapters. It may be statically linked
into the kernel, or loaded as a module.
For the loaded firmware to be enabled for use the license at /usr/share/doc/legal/intel_ipw/LICENSE must be agreed to by adding the following
