I was tinkering with my router these days. It runs on MIPS core and the OS is based on Linux. But the builtin busybox is very limited. I managed to export a binary of busybox compiled for MIPS through telnet.

[Q] Busybox 32 weeks 6 days ago

Hey,

So a few months ago, I installed either an older version of Busybox, or the newer version I installed never stuck. Basically, I have two folders that contain the busybox commands: /sbin and /system/xbin. In Terminal Emu., when I enter a Busybox command, it seems to only acknowledge the older folder (/sbin).
