FVS318G Telnet LAN<>WAN firewall settings not working
Hello, when logging into the router via telnet and accessing the fw / lan-wan settings, I cannot use the show function nor can I disable or enable any rules. I need this to work for an automated ...
Hi Muessigb,
I understand how you feel about needing to pay for technical support whenever the support warranty has expired. Kindly post an image or screenshot of the error message or the telnet session to your FVS318G so that others here in the community may post suggestions regarding your concern.
What is the current firmware of your FVS318G?

Hello.
Thank you for your reply.
Here's an image of my Telnet session to the router. First, I went into fw/rules/lanWan/outbound and ran the 'show' command to display all the configured rules.
Then I went into the inbound rules and executed 'show' again. Unlike the first time, it works here and in all the other screens without any problems.
I am also not able to enable or disable any LAN<>WAN rules from within the Telnet console. The web UI has no problems doing so.
I am running the latest official firmware 3.1.1-18 from Netgear which is unfortunately from around 2014.

Hi Muessigb,
Can't see the image you have posted. By the way, have you tried to perform a factory reset on the FVS318G then reconfigure it from scratch and check if you will encounter the same problem?

If you cannot see it, I can try uploading it to my website instead.
No, I haven't recently resetted the router, but I do remember that the last reset fixed some problems such as the DHCP server not showing the devices anymore (in the groups manager). I don't think though, that this will fix this issue, but I can try at some point, although the entire network would have to be taken down, which is something that should really not be done as quite a few people will complain. Possibly overnight, though I am not a fan of this.

I am not really familiar with the telnet access on the FVS318G because this is usually for the NETGEAR engineering team access. There is no telnet / CLI reference guide published for the FVS318G unlike on some NETGEAR ProSAFE VPN Firewall like on the SRX5308 which you can check here.
