lynx -dump '<URL here>' | sed '<script to parse out IP here>'

That should do it.  You shouldn't need to navigate at all, just use the 
URL of the page with the IP on it.  If the router uses basic 
authentication to control access to the page you want, use -auth in lynx.

I tried this on my DSL router but it doesn't seem to put the external IP 
on any of the web pages.
