admin@CBR40:# config get wl_ssid

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!

      Was the root password the same as admin or something different?

        I entered the same administrative password using both user names ("admin" and "root")

        Both ways, it said I was logged in as "root".

        (Dumb me, I had never noticed that before.)

         

        We have tons of users with Mac's on the forum.  Surely this isn't one of those "Mac vs. PC" things or someone would have mentioned it already.
