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!
Danc90 you are right. I had Smart Connect Enabled and I didn't noticed. You can select 4803Mbps but only on DFS channels. In my area I'm pretty sure that there are radars for military use nearby. This might be a possible explanation why I have no SSID on 5G-2. Unfortunately (non DFS) channels above 149 are not available at all.
plemans I've already made it as I explain on post #5.
With a router not configured for Smart Connect (so no single SSID for neither the 2.4 GHz nor any of the two undoubtedly available 5 GHz networks, I would expect to see individual SSIDs (Network Names), individual channel selections, and individual security settings for each of the three three radios. All the screenshots (I assume we have screenshots posted from Australia [with a Europe setting] and from Greece [Europe] regulatory domain) appear to show only one set - tis leaves the impression bit your RAX70 are still appear to be configured for Smart Connect. Same behavior if doing a factory reset - just curious?

Good question. These days, Smart Connect is likely to be enabled by default. So, it will still be there after a reset.

According to the screenshots, Smart Connect is not enabled. Thus asking.
