Unfortunately, not much.  Unless the router has its own API and/or telnet 
protocol exposed, then it likely can't be configured remotely without UPnP. 
Your only other option would be to generate and run a script that 
manipulates a web browser into performing the kinds of operations that a 
human would perform by hand to log into the router and change its settings.
