That depends on what interface the router makes available. Then it's just a matter of sending the commands. Again, probably hardware-dependent.
UPNP may be an option as well, again, depending on your hardware.

Hi Joe Ess,
thanks for your information.on my router i can connect using telnet or ssh protocal.for connection my thinking is
1)create a Serversocket
2)using UrlConnect
we can do it. isn't it?

Are you trying to write Java code that connects to the router and then issues commands to it programmatically? If so, neither a ServerSocket, nor the URLConnection class will be of much help.

The Apache Commons Net library contains a Telnet client library you could use.

You can either:

1. Implement telnet using Socket, since it seems you are wanting client functionality

2. Use a telnet or ssh library.
