You should try it to configure with another browser (Firefox, Opera),
just because wrong certificate you should be able to save router
settings (not using IE7, but that should also continue on if you tell it
that you trust the site).
Never saw that device but you could also try to use normal http instead
https protocol to set it up.
As for ssl think Linksys using it to encrypt the connection and not for
identifing other party this case certificate not even matter (that is
why they self signed certificate enought).
Anyway everything can be altered. To make it short that device uses
squashfs as filesystem if someone know-how they can replace the
certificate on it (not seeing why someone would do that, other then to
make a Verisign certified router config page) style_emoticons/
