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.

As already explained, newer routers do not support Telnet.
Posting the same message twice will not suddenly change how Netgear's routers work.
It isn't clear to me what you have done.

Are you saying that you used Telnet to do something with the SXS80?
If you have screwed up the SXS80 with Telnet, you may have created a fancy paperweight.
