and I don't see port 23 open.
Is there an option to open a command line interface?

Port 23 (telnet) is not open by default. (Do not want people hacking the system.) Open the Orbi "debug" page, http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm and log in using the admin credentials, "admin" and password. Check the box, "Enable Telnet".
(Note: the telnet port remains open for quite some time, but eventually Orbi will close it again. You will go to the web page and even though the box is checked, it will not respond. Uncheck the box. Wait for web page to reload. Check box again, and telnet is open again.
