Help, I can't enter the system interface after changing the SXS80 model to RBS850
I changed the SXS80 model to RBS850 in Telnet, and wanted to flash the RBS850 firmware, but the firmware failed to pass the verification and could not be flashed. The current problem is that the machine can run normally and can be used normally after connecting to the upper-level router, but the system management interface cannot be displayed, that is, there is no way to turn on the Telnet option and change back to the SXS80 model. Currently, all firmware versions of SXK80 have no restrictions on turning on Telnet. You only need to enter the /debug.html page and check it, but I can't enter it now. I hope everyone can help me and teach me how to force Telnet to open. Thank you.

My machine is SXS80. I used the [artmtd -w board_model_id RBS850] command in Telnet to change the SXS80 to the RBS850 hardware model. Now the machine is running normally, but the management interface is not displayed, so I can't enter/ The debug.html interface opens the Telnnet option command and changes it back to SXS80. So what I'm asking for now is how to turn on the Telnet function and change it back to SXS80 to make it normal, or restore the default configuration of Telnet.

Duplicating the similar question won't bring you ahead.
None of all that is a user action as documented. You are fully on your own, converting an SXS80 to and SXR80 (or a vary different RBS850) might require much more changes. Ways off from support - Netgear wont answer your question anyway - and not a subject on what we can assist on here in the Netgear Community. Sorry.
