  • There could be many reasons but ensure Telnet is properly enabled, check for firewall/antivirus interference, and verify your PuTTY settings (IP: 192.168.1.1, Port: 23). If the issue persists, try restarting the router and your computer or use a different terminal app.

    Hello afrykanski

     

    And welcome to the NETGEAR Community! 🙂

     

    The purpose of that connection is to allow the engineering team to remotely troubleshoot and diagnose the device if any issues occur.

     

    Have a lovely day,
