I see you have misread and, thus, mistyped the command that johnson suggested you try . . . It is ls , a lower case "el" and a lower case "es".

Well the good news it seems to work (attachment below)
The bad news is that there seems to be something wrong with the modem, it's the second time now since I've gotten it that it just drops completely with only like 2 lights working and I can't even connect to the webUI and have to physically restart it. This modem has a lot of good reviews though, maybe it's faulty?
DareDev1L:
Hi, I updated my firmware (it was in its earliest version) so hopefully that fixes the dropouts.
So I experimented a bit more with ls and seems there's a lot more in there, I just can't figure out the commands to access them. Google as always, is no help.
Think any of these might help me out with what I was trying to do in my initial post? Thanks :)
EDIT: Also it allows me to go into root mode as well, but get the feeling I would be entering dangerous territory without knowing what commands to use.
Alex Atkin UK:
Root isn't generally dangerous on routers/modems as there is very limited write access. So unless you actually do something crazy like issue the command to wipe the NAND (not something you are likely to do accidentally), a factory reset should always bring you back if you mess up the configuration somehow. If in doubt, don't touch anything in /dev unless you know what you are doing. ;)
Does "help" being anything up now? What's in /sbin?

:D no worries, I will make sure not to wipe the NAND where possible ;D
"help" doesn't give me info in ssh for some reason while it does on telnet, which I provided earlier in a screenshot. Here's what I found in /sbin.
Thanks for the replies so far guys don't know what I'd do without you, I've been spending plenty a buck on finding routers where I can attempt to tweak, reason being I compete in esports so the stability and decreased pings really benefit me, something if I mention to any ISP here about "ping" they immediately respond with the script stating they do "not support online gaming". Information I did get is that fast path/interleaving is set to automatic, and I've seen people here gain fast path through tweaking of their modems on reddit. It appears everything is done through the DLAM which decides your interleaving with stability, so I am attempting to keep my connection from resyncing as much as possible in order to allow the DLAM to push it down over time, I have about 1702 interleaving according to my previous routers which seems incredibly high considering I don't have any packet loss or ES according to my previous routers. Unfortunately this router doesn't tell me anything through normal means, but I did recently purchase it and hope the modem doesn't go to complete waste.

Look in /usr/bin and /usr/sbin
