Do not SSH into your router for running cfe.exe.... You should run cfe.exe in Windows and then upload the new CFE to your router.. As mentioned in these guides use caution while changing the CFE otherwise it might brick the router.

Try loading the latest firmware from the Web GUI( Administration -->Upgrade firmware) instead of recovery mode.
