    It depends on the router, some use the Telnet protocol, others use SSH, if you use telnet you can install it using brew https://medium.com/ayuth/bring-telnet-back-on-macos-high-sierra-11de98de1544 , if it is ssh you can use the native ssh command like this: usuario@ip.

    Remember to validate that your router supports these types of connections, for this you can do it in three ways:

    • Reading the official manual
    • Looking for the option to enable shell access from the WEB Dashboard
    • Performing a port scan

    If you want to perform the port scan you must use nmap, for this you can install it using brew brew install nmapand then running nmap -A -T4 ip-rouer, after this you will see the open ports along with their connection protocols, depending on the case it will be the way in which you can manage your router.
