Yes but in order to crash it this way you must attack it from the
inside.
But how youy will be able to do that from the inside?
Yiu must somwhow infect an internal host to do that and that means you
have to pass from the router first somehow.

And also i would like to ask if a router gets crushes what does that
mean?
Thats it stops responding and therefore stop blocking unsolicited
inbound connections so one could slip in?
