Each router and method of obtaining root on them is different. There is no catch-all answer. Look for exploits on the config panel(with burp or something). Look for exploits on any other running services(nmap scan to see what it's running and hopefully the versions of the servers).

If you have physical access, just crack that bad larry open and look for a serial port.

ssh access is possible but there is only read privleges and i can't wget cause when i do i don't have gcc to compile anything
