HOW TO DISABLE 5G TEMPORARILY ON ORBI ROUTER
HELLO, I own an Orbi system and recently obtained a Personal Weather station that does direct uploads to various weather sites online. The weather station will only connect to Wi-Fi via a 2.4GHZ sys...
!00% on the money!
After enabling Telnet - I used Putty to connect and just pasted the string below. I did increase it to 300 seconds (5 mins) just to make sure I was able to do everything on the setup La Crosse App (like scan the barcodes for the station and sensor).
Everything else is perfect. I willl be sending this to the La Crosse support since I have been working with them to resolve this issue.
guzzijason Thank you for finding this solution!
Im having the same issues with probably the exact same weather station. Can you provide either links or slightly more detailed info as it relates to the telnet into orbi router. I think i enabled telnet on my orbi router, but cant seem to figure out how to command line in from mac and run that script.
Any detailed help would be greatly appreciated as i get zero help from the weather station support.

If you are on a mac, you open the Terminal application. Terminal provides a window with a command line prompt.
Enter the following telnet command on the Terminal command line: telnet 192.168.1.1
(You need to replace 192.168.1.1 with the IP address of your Orbi router.)
You will then see a login prompt from the Orbi.
Enter your Orbi router username (admin) and your password at the prompts. (admin/password is the default)
Now you will be logged into the Orbi and will have a command line on Orbi. The command line prompt should look like "root@RBR50:/#"
At the prompt, you enter the commands posted by guzzijason above all on one line: seconds=60; x=0; ... ; done
Press enter to execute the command.
When all finished, you enter the following command to log out from Orbi: exit
Cant thank you enough for attempting to help.
When i get into terminal and type, "telnet 168.192.1.1" (this is my same ip) get the following error:
" -bash: telnet: command not found"

OK. Apparently, Apple decided to delete telnet on the latest versions of OSX. Fortunately, I know a workaround. Use the netcat command and instruct it to use the telnet port 23.
Instead of telnet 192.168.1.1 use the following command:
nc 192.168.1.1 23
