Router
This is the nearest to specification of what I found
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Belkin_F9K1115_v2
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Dual-Band-Gigabit-Router-F9K1115/dp/B004U6NS5Y

Did I already mention Qualcomm Atheros QCA9880 somewhere. :)

But probably yours is UK version
http://www.amazon.co.uk/AC1750-MODEM-ROUTER-POWER-BUD/dp/B00LVS6O3C

Without FCC ID I cannot conclude what is actual device.

You're right as far as DD-WRT support

Adapter
If the reference are VID & PID
https://wikidevi.com/wiki/D-Link_DWA-182_rev_C1
It is USB 3.0 device?

Does "PLD Linux method" work?
Is that the only 802.11ac adapter you have?
If you can it would be nice to make measurements with 'iperf'.
