I used to be able to ssh into my old FiOS router, but now that I got a new one (without antennas), attempts to ssh time out -- from the same internal computer, from which I can reach the same router's web-interface without a problem:
% ssh -p 8022 -v admin@router OpenSSH_7.2p2, OpenSSL 1.0.1t-freebsd 3 May 2016 debug1: Reading configuration data /home/XX/.ssh/config debug1: /home/XX/.ssh/config line 1: Applying options for * debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Connecting to router.lan [192.168.1.1] port 8022. debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.1 port 8022: Operation timed out ssh: connect to host router.lan port 8022: Operation timed out
The ssh ports -- both 22 and 8022 -- are enabled, according to the router's web-interface:
What's happening?

Ok, it turns out, that -- in addition to specifying the ports in the above screenshot, one also has to enable local administration under Advanced->Local Administration. Thanks for making it "easy", Actiontek...
Once you enable it, you can login via ssh with the same credentials you use through the web-interface (such as "admin" and the password printed on the side of the router).
It does not appear, like you could add authorized_keys, however...
Once logged-in, however, your options are annoyingly limited. There is not even a ps(1) command to look, what processes are currently running. No vi either...

Probably considered a consumer grade router.
Adding those capabilities adds code.

The router uses Busybox Linux-distribution internally. Busybox has all those utilities and more. One would have to go out of one's way to disable them... The only possible justification is storage-space -- removing additional code saves room. But we live in the second decade of the 21st century -- what's a few megabytes? OpenWRT, for example, offers a much more complete command-line without any loss of functionality...
