/bin/ash: config: not found

 

Additionaly i realized when I log in as admin my name in the promt is admin not root. Im on Mac OS running telnet though terminal. Any ideas why this is the case?

    I guess you are trying the steps outlined in this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-to-disable-WiFi-on-the-Orbi-Router-or-Satellite/td-p/1677533  (read all the way through.  there are corrections)

     

    The credentials needed are still "admin" for the user ID and the administrative password.  Interesting that your Orbi has a linux prompt of "#admin@", while my RBR50 shows a prompt of "root@".

     

    I just typed the command on my Orbi and got my SSID.  Did you type config get "w" lowercase L, underscore, "ssid"?

     

     

    • I 100% have it correct "config wl_ssid" as you have stated. I keep gettign the error "/bin/ash: config: not found." I have looked though that post and those commadns also deliver the same error.

        Well now, this is just strange.  Just to be onery, I logged in this time as "root" instead of "admin". TOOK IT!  Here's proof:

        And, I do not get "/bin/ash: <command> not found"

        What I get is "-ash: <command>: not found

         

        It had NEVER occured to me that the RBR50 and RBR40 would have a different shell.

        Wow!

  • Is there anything else 'different' about when you log in? For example, the first thing I see is this:

    BusyBox v1.24.1 (2019-06-28 21:18:41 CST) built-in shell (ash)
    Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

    And, my prompt comes up as "root@RBR50#"

     

    Like, even "help" doesn't work?

    • Help does not work. This is my login:

        Wow, am I slow.  CBR40, as in "built-in cable modem" Orbi.  (The only model with one)  And, you've probably had it more than 90 days, so Netgear support won't answer even a simple question.
