Install DD-WRT v24 SP1 firmware on the router:
<http://www.coderetard.com/2008/05/30/installing-dd-wrt-firmware-on-a-linksys-wrt150n-wireless-router/>

V1, v1.1, or v2 versions? They're quite different. V1 and v1.1 use a
Broadcom processor. V2 uses a Ralink processor. Only the v1 and v1.1
versions are supported by DD-WRT. V2 is not supported.

Anyway, telnet and SSH are supported by DD-WRT.
