The tweaks I usually do are for fine-tuning and can be too difficult for
the average user. I made you a custom build and a config file, so you
could easily have a finely-tuned build.
Toke's build should work well for you. You have improvements to your
WiFi stack in your router. The custom firewall rules I recommended
before only work if you have a specific set of packages installed, so I
recommend just removing them. If you have the dual-src and dual-dst
settings in your SQM settings, keeping that will benefit you.
