Have a better look at your Router(or modem)

Have you ever thought of knowing about the router you are using ie the operating system on which it works, memory it uses, various process which run on it etc.
This post will tell you how to know all this stuff. here I go.
first you need to login into you router. It is possible in two ways ie through Command line and Graphical User Interface.
Through Command Line:
Open Command Prompt by typing cmd in Run.Then type “Telnet 192.168.1.1” (don’t use inverted commas). You need login and password which is usually admin and password respectively(I have a modem of Beetel). If login is not possible the you can find the login information of your respective modem on the internet according to the company.
Once you login, you are done. Now you can get the desired information. Routers are configured on linux. Various information which you can obtain are:
1) First you need to know the shell which your router or modem is using. Just type the sh command. It will display
BusyBox v1.00 (2005.09.20-19:57+0000) Built-in shell (msh)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
Here msh is the shell type.
2) You can get the version of the shell. Just type # cat /proc/version.
3) Get the Ram information using # cat /proc/meminfo.
4) Get the CPU information using # cat /proc/cpuinfo.
5) Get list of various kernal modules using # cat /proc/modules.
6) Get default routing information using the command # route.
7) Various process which run under a modem or router can be seen through # ps.

Note: These all are Linux commands.

Through Graphical User Interface you can login through your browser where you get a menu with various setting option such as ipforwarding, proxy settings, gateway and lots of other setting.
