...Does anyone know how I can turn on telnet services on this unit? Or is there a different page with the new firmware of these devices? Its currently on a 3.15.2 I believe.
My Orbi AX is running the latest V3.2.15.25_1.3.15 firmware. As you say, the Enable Telnet checkbox option no longer exists on the /debug.htm page. I previously turned on Telnet when my Orbi was running an older firmware. I can confirm that telnet still works with my Orbi even though the checkbox no longer appears on that debug page.
Therefore you could probably downgrade to an earlier firmware, enable telnet, and then upgrade back to the current firmware.
