RBS20 Remole Reboot
How can I reboot the RBS20 remotely? Why can't I go directly to the RBS20 in a browser and there is NOT a selectable function to reoot the satellite? What does this all mean? I do not see this ...

I have a garage about 50' from my house and I have a Cat6 Cable from the rbs50 connected to my rbr50. Remotely is loging into the rbs50 via IP through a browser. Telnet does not work at all. Seems the rbs50 will not accept a telnet session through the PowerShell on Win10.
Seems there would be a simple way for being the manager to easily do this without issue.

Thanks for clarifying the need. This is much more "doable" than "remote from outside the LAN."
Perhaps the instructions were not clear.
- Learn the IP address of the Orbi satellite (from the Attached Devices page)
- Open a web browser to the satellite debug page with http://<ip of satellite>/debug.htm
- On the debug web page, check the box labeled "Enable Telnet"
- Open the command environment. (I use a "CMD: Box", but PowerShell should be about the same.)
- Start telnet. I type
telnet <ip of satellite>, such as telnet 192.168.1.2 - The login prompt will come up. Enter the login credentials: "admin" and the administrative password.
- A linux prompt will come up, something like RBS50#
- At this point, type in the command
reboot
Is this exactly the procedure you followed?
I dare not test this until the family leaves the house. FURRYe38 reported that it did not work for him.
