It's a Cisco router, not a cheap broadband router.
The first step is to configure it using console port. By default, there is
no ip address on its ports.

Install the Telnet client from Programs and Features, Windows Features.
Use the proper cable.
Set the port speed, parity, etc. correctly.
Have fun.

Type this
To do this

open or o
Establish a Telnet connection with a host computer or remote server. You
can use the full command, open, or abbreviate it to just o. For example, o
redmond 44 will connect your computer to a computer named redmond using port
44.

Close or c
Close an existing Telnet connection. It can be combined with a host name
and port number. For example, c redmond 44 closes the connection with the
remote server redmond on port 44.

display
View the current settings for Telnet Client.

Type display for a list of the current operating parameters. If you are in a
Telnet session (connected to a Telnet server), to modify the parameters,
press CTRL+] to leave the Telnet session. To return to the Telnet session,
press ENTER. The following operating parameters are available:

WILL AUTH (NTLM Authentication)

WONT AUTH

WILL TERM TYPE

WONT TERM TYPE

LOCALECHO off

LOCALECHO on

quit or q

set
Set the terminal type for the connection, turn on local echo, set
authentication to NTLM, set the escape character, and set up logging.

computer, you will not be prompted to type a logon name and password.

SET LOCALECHO turns on local echoing.

SET TERM {ANSI|VT100|VT52|VTNT} sets the terminal type to the appropriate
terminal type.

You should use the VT100 terminal type if you are running normal
command-line applications. Use the VTNT terminal type if you are running
advanced command-line applications, such as edit.

ESCAPE + Charactersets the key sequence to use for switching from session to
command mode. For example, to set CTRL+P as your escape character, type set
escape, press CTRL+P, and then press ENTER.

LOGFILE FileName sets the file to be used for logging Telnet activity. The
log file must be on your local computer.

Logging begins automatically when you set this option.

LOGGING turns on logging.

If no log file is set, an error message is displayed.

unset
Turn off local echo or sets authentication for the logon or password
prompt.

UNSET NLM turns off NLM.

UNSET LOCALECHO turns off local echoing.
