Enable Telnet to Change Region on RAX70
Hello, I'm from Greece and recently bought a second hand RAX70. Unfortunately the Region is locked to China even though the router box clearly says RAX70-100EUS. (I thought that it was made for EU...
I finally got it to work.
I enabled Telnet and changed Region to Europe!
Now I have the 4804MHz option!
I managed to do it with Firmware Version 1.0.10.110 running the code I found here:
https://github.com/bkerler/netgear_telnet
I run the:
python3 telnet-enable.py [IP] [MAC] [user] "[password]"
Double quotes instead of single quotes in readme file might made the trick.
Many thanks to Bjoern Kerler!
As an option to try, flash the oldest firmware you can download from this site. There is a chance it was distributed before Netgear depreciated telnet.
If you try this option, please report back with your results.
I have not seen any third party firmware for the RAX70. You might dig deeper on the internet.
schumaku Thank you very much. This '2' error was a password problem (I used a randomly created 16 symbol password) As soon as I changed the password to a more simple one the error message disappeared.
When I run nte m=(mac_addr) n=(ip_addr) u=admin p=password I get the following message:nte: FAIL. No ACK message received.
microchip8 unfortunately I know.
Kitsap Firmware Version 1.0.1.68 is the oldest out there and there is no telnet option. I'm pretty sure that I saw the enable telnet option when I first installed the fw 1.0.1.68 but the /debug.htm page refreshed as soon as in checked the box and I never saw this option again. I tried to install fw 1.0.1.68 again and again with no luck.
