I guess you mean /router:/etc/hosts

This message means, that Tramp cannot find a suitable program on the
router to encode/decode files. It looks for mimencode, mmencode, recode,
perl etc. The traces show also, that stty is not found on the router.

Could you, please, check the existence and location of those programs?

Best regards, Michael.
