SSH​

SSH (Secure Shell) is an encrypted network protocol. When enabled, it allows users to remotely log in to the router via an SSH client application. This feature is primarily intended for users with certain development experience, enabling them to perform tasks like configuration management, debugging, and executing commands on the router’s system in a secure manner.
