Did you set up password? For me is working:
1) telnet to device,
2) passwd (set new password)
After this, dropbear switch instance from telnet to ssh

Hi,

Yes, i have also tried to reboot the router, and its still on port 23

This way works without reboot. There is in process list to see then generating ssh keys... Maybe other problem in your scenario...

Maybe, can it be done other ways

I have Solved the problem now :-)

Maybe you could share your solution?

I have a presumption i have forgot some command lines, i'm not sure

The discussion might have continued from here.
