    You can telnet into router.  You can use a telnetenable executable that's freely available on the Internet (use the correct one for your model).  Alternatively, it may be possible to enable telnet access through a debug menu (e.g. http://routerlogin.com/debug.htm).   I saw a post recently about that.

     

    Once you are in, it's pretty much a BusyBox console.
