First of all you need to download and install WinSCP. Once installed, you have to configure the program in order to recognize your device:
- File Protocol: SCP
- Host name: 192.168.1.1 (If it is not this one search on your Network settings)
- Username: root
After doing this correctly, click on Add and now you are ready to work on WinSCP.
Now on your router side, the right one, open the tmp folder and on your Windows side, your left one, open the folder where is the file you want to copy. 
Select the file you want to copy and click on Upload, then click Ok and the file is uploaded on your router. Finally, execute the following command to apply the file:
chmod +x /tmp/your-file.sh && /tmp/your-file.sh
