disabling LAN ports on on RBS50

Disabling ports on the RBS is not supported. Thus why you see the config error when you try to apply the change. 

You might try Voxels 3rd party FW over on smallnetbuilders forum.

I am trying to disable the LAN ports on an RBS50 and following instructions here

 

https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/DISABLE-LAN-PORTS-ON-RBS50/m-p/1719465#M55199

 

That is:

-----------------------

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

---------------------

Everything seems to work OK until last step - when enter 'ifconfig commit' I get 'ifconfig: commit: error fetching interface information: device not found'

 

Ideas or suggestions?

 

Note the print out for 'config get dgc_netif_lan_phyif' is eth1 so eberything seems to work up to there?
