With some of my routers, when I log in, I don't get a username or password request, just the prompt. The problem is that cmd() matches against a prompt, so if you capture the output of cmd() directly after, it'll do it up to the prompt before. So you'll get whatever went on between the last two prompts, not the last one and the one directly after you issued the cmd.

Is there any way to fix this for certain instances? Like is there a 'cmd' count somewhere which can be bumped up by one by inserting a blank element or something?
