+### Router SSH (generic)
+This add-on supports a **generic SSH configuration** for a router/firewall (or any LAN network device)
+when you want the assistant to automate local network changes (e.g., port forwarding, DNS records,
+firewall rules).
+
+Config fields:
+- `router_ssh_host`: host/IP of the router (reachable from the HA host network)
+- `router_ssh_user`: SSH username
+- `router_ssh_key_path`: path to the private key file inside the add-on (default: `/data/keys/router_ssh`)
+
+How to provide the SSH key:
+- Put the private key file under the add-on config directory so it appears in-container at `/data/keys/...`.
+- Ensure permissions are restricted (recommended `chmod 600`).
+
+Back-compat:
+- Older versions used MikroTik-branded names: `mikrotik_host`, `mikrotik_ssh_user`, `mikrotik_ssh_key_path`.
+  These are still accepted but **deprecated**.
