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,
