I just wanted to put a shout out to OpenWRT, a third-party router firmware that runs on a lot of routers. Most OEM routers are running embedded Linux already, OpenWRT replaces it with a more featureful OS.
The OS backup isn't a binary, proprietary blob - it's a tar file of the configuration files by directory. I screwed up my configuration and the DNS server broke, but I was able to copy over the configs via SSH and was up and running quickly.
