Asus Router Config Decoder

PowerShell script that decodes the .cfg file resulted from backing up the configuration of an Asus router.
It saves the entire decoded content of the .cfg file as [FileName]_Decoded.txt.
If the config file contains a DHCP client list, it will be formatted as pipe-delimited text and saved as [FileName]_DHCP.txt.
It also displays the following information if found in the config file:

  • Admin username
  • Admin password
  • SSIDs (Wi-Fi names)
  • WPA PSKs (Wi-Fi passwords)
  • PPPOE credentials

Based on the following Bash script:
