RAX120 SSH access

Most likely not possible. SSH may required special keys that are not made public for security reasons.
Hi and thanks for your reply.
well, I am a beginner so I don't have experience and knowhow, but reading several article on the web I see
someone did it on other netgear router, maybe having Dropbear SSH installed as server..?
Do you know if this would be possible, or any other ways
What other NG router model was this?
NG removed Telnet access support from most of there newer versions of FW. Though I presume one may have found alternative means to enable telnet access.
I was able to enable telnet on my RAX120 with very last firmware running.
my problem is now, how can I activate the SSH ?
Is SSH just blocked by firewall? in case which telnet comand I can use to check, verify or evenatually unlock SSH?
Or if SSH server is not there, can I install example dropbear - lightweight SSH2 server
or any other OpenSSH?
What NG router that was mentioned being able to use SSH?
Most likely no.
