Telnet and router security

In a vain attempt to see if I can increase the wireless power of my dlink router (yes MB, I know - I will buy a proper router just as soon as I have broken this one) -an option that was in an earlier firmware release but has now disappeared from the gui- I stumbled about with telnet commands.

One command showed me my ISP password and another seemed to want to show the encryption keys. Here in the countryside I can use an open network so no keys were disclosed. Am I to believe that the telnet command would have displayed the unencrypted key values ?
