Sure you do. You didn't mention what ssh client you were using or the
OS it's running on, but any respectable client should be able to
accommodate you. If you have the ability to run a browser on the same
machine that you are secure shelling FROM, you can set up a secure
tunnel from a local port to a remote ip and port number. If you're at a
UNIX prompt then try this:

ssh <home-ip> -L 8000:192.168.1.1:80

Now login to your shell prompt like normal. Next open a web browser of
your choice (on the same machine you just issued the ssh command from)
and go to:

http://localhost:8000

Now log into your Linksys router and rejoice in the fact that you not
only are you able to config your router, you're doing it over a secured
connection.
