Thanks for coming back to me.

This is pretty heavy compared to just enabling telnet on the GUI.

Do you know if there is anything available on Mac ?

Thanks

Not aware of any other way to enable telnet on the new units.

 

Virtual machine with windows or linux will do it for you :)

    Understood. I wish the GUI would have much more options available.

    I just realized the gest network was not even working through the satellite with a wired backhaul... No need to change the IP range in that case for the moment !

    Hard to believe that there is bug like that for such an expensive device !

    Anyway thanks a lot for your help.

    Regards

      Telnet was removed a while back. No sure if it's coming back to Orbi AX.
