Is it possible to gain access to a router by SSHing into it. I understand that you can ssh into a specific server or machine with SSH, but can you do the same thing with a router if you know the router's IP address?

If you want to SSH into router, first ip a to find your local ip (The one under one of the UP interfaces), starting with 192.168.. Run a nmap scan like: nmap -sP 192.168.2.1/24 to find all hosts on the network (considering your local ip is starting with 192.168.2.). Once you find the router IP, then do nmap -sV -T4 -O -F --version-light to find the SSH port.
