Yes it does use Busybox and your right, Busybox does
use Ash for the shell, so your in the clear as to
the shellshock vuln on this router.

Yeah most these consumer based OEM routers that do have 
some form of modified GNU/Linux, do use Busybox, Dropbear, etc. 
I have 14 older Linksys WRT54G, WRT54GL, WRT54G-TM
WRT54GS type routers, and several more Netgear routers, 
that the OEM firmware has been replaced with DD-WRT Linux firmware, 
standard or mega builds and they all have
Busybox and Ash as the shell also.
