USB Keyboard not recognized

I've connected a USB keyboard to my router, it is listed in lsusb but /dev/input does not exist. Is there any way to get the keyboard recognized?

What do you hope to achieve by connecting a keyboard to an Asus router? Further it would help if you included your router model and firmware version.
 
I'm hoping to be able to read the input from the keyboard.
But why? Presumably you'd then also want a console output device to see what you're typing?

The short answer is no, keyboards (along with most other USB peripherals) are not supported.

How do you expect to read the input from a USB keyboard connected to a ZenWifi ET8 USB port?
PS: What are you trying to "input" into the router that requires a USB keyboard attached to the router that using SSH to issue CLI commands to the router wouldn't accomplish?
