I have a home wireless router running DD-WRT. I am unable to SSH into the router (Dropbear) even after restoring default settings and reinstalling the DD-WRT firmware. So I tried to SSH into the router with -vvv and this is what I got:

OpenSSH_6.7p1 Ubuntu-5ubuntu1.3, OpenSSL 1.0.1f 6 Jan 2014

Any discernible issue that I can address - based on the shared logs - that would enable me to log on to Dropbear?

Perform a Hard Reset ("30/30/30" reset) on your router. Reference the DD-WRT wiki, wiki.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Reset_And_Reboot

After the hard reset, your router's IP address will be 192.168.1.1 and no SSH daemon running. Thus, use the Web GUI to restore your previous configuration with SSH daemon enabled. You may need to upload your current public key.
