How to get to the router firmware scripts?

Question

network hardware

Hello.
How to get to the scripts from the ASUS RT-N16 router firmware? I want to file a widget that polls the router every minute for the number of connected devices. I decided to see how this is implemented by the forces of the firmware itself. The browser debugger showed the names of the scripts, but how to get them out?
Thank you.

Usually, the script partition is mounted read-only, and the firmware has a special format. Editing live is unlikely. On the official site, the sources are laid out, I think you need to start with them, there are also utilities for building.
