    1. From browser go to the router's debug page (http://192.168.1.1/debug.htm). Use your router's IP address or http://orbilogin.com/debug.htm
    2. Enter admin as user name and your router’s management password
    3. Tick "Enable Telnet" option
    4. Use Telnet from your computer to connect to your Router telnet 192.168.1.1 and enter admin and the same password as above
    5. Enter the following commands:
      • config get dgc_netif_lan_phyif    --> printout should be eth1 for RBS50
      • ifconfig eth1 down      --> use the value that you got from the previous command
      • ifconfig commit
