when do you get the mac address for the lan port from?
does this mean I need to be connected to the router via ethernet rather than wifi to run the script?

The MAC address for the LAN port is also displayed on orbilogin.com / Advanced tab, under Router Information. The MAC address for the upstream internet connection is under Internet Port.
ok I've tried the command from cmd in admin mode exactly the way the readme says it should run and telnet is still not working.
is it possible to get an output of the python script to see if it's actually working?
If the script executed with out any errors, then telnet should be working.
Can you access the telnet using teraterm or putty at all? The one time I did it it worked for me on my 8 series RBR.

I noticed the telnet backdoor stopped working for me in January: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/Telnetenable-on-Orbi-RBR50-Firmware-2-7-0-70/td-p/1983293. The telnetEnable tool doesn't work anymore for my RBR850 or RBR50 with the latest firmware versions.
RBR50 telnet works with just enabing telnet under the debug.htm. The telnet enabler isn't needed.
Unfortunately for the RBR850 on v12 FW, enable telnet using the telent enabler isn't working. :smileysad:
