Please use the following telnet command from the router:

root@RBR50:~# cat /var/satellite_device_info

[{

"mac address": "78:C2:94:xx:xx:xx",

"ip address": "192.168.1.2",

"module name": "RBS50",

"serial number": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

"signal strength": "-97",

"current version": "V2.3.0.32",

"backhaul status": "1",

"device name": "Orbi Satellite-1"

}]

Thanks for this. Is there a setting I need to configure to allow telnet to router? I looked thoughout the router webportal but cant seem to find where I enable telnet access.

Thanks

  To enable telnet in your Orbi Router:
  
  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
  
  Enter admin as user name and your router’s management password
  
  Tick "Enable Telnet" option
  
  Use Telnet from a computer attached to Orbi to connect to your Router telnet 192.168.1.1 (or your router's IP address) and enter admin and the same password that you used to login to Orbi
