I am interested in SSH security configuration and would like to verify my router's settings.

http://inb4.se/blog/2015/01/26/SSH-Configuration-Checklist/

The article suggests checking the configuration file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

I did see /etc/dropbear but no config file. Is there a file to config dropbear? If not, is there a command to display the configured options found in the article?
 
Those settings are specific to OpenSSH. Most of them don't apply or have no equivalent setting in dropbear (which is designed to be a basic sshd server for low resource devices).

You will have to dig through either the Dropbear man page or its source code to determine how its default security matches those recommendations.
