Does dd-wrt have specific key requirements for ssh key-based login?

I can login with ssh via password, but I would like to disable password login and allow only key-based login. I know how to use ssh fairly well. However, I cannot get the key-based login to work on two different routers, both running dd-wrt (one standard, one kong build).

I assume ed_25519 keys may not work, so I tried 4096 bit rsa keys. Are those too big? Is there some other requirement I'm overlooking?

As stated, I do have password login working, so the basic sshd settings are correct. Also, I use ssh all day long to log into various servers, so there's not likely any problem with my general ssh settings, keys, etc. I have run ssh with "-vvv" (no errors, it simply doesn't accept the key) and I have checked /tmp/root/.ssh/authorized_keys and the public key is correct.

Enter your public key in Services->Secure Shell->authorized Keys, copy/paste in GUI.

In Administration->Management->Remote Access, select 'ssh management' at a minimum.

If still an issue, and your keys are correct, post a screen cap of the above sections for further checks.
