Overnight device activity consuming allowed time

Makes sense. What doesn't make sense is the lack of action on Netgear's part; this is really a fundamental issue in it's usefulness; I'm flabbergasted at the lack of attention to detail.
FURRYe38 Debug logs were sent over a period of months from Feb-Jun 2022. When the root cause of the problem didn't reveal itself in the debug logs, the next step was for Netgear to telnet. That took the better part of 6 months to set up, thanks to the cluelessness of Netgear support. Telnet is not on the debug page. I was provided a program called telnetenable which I had to run on my laptop, presumably to activate telnet on the router. So after 6 months of futility, last week a telnet connection was established between my laptop and the Orbi router. Now I'm awaiting a callback from Netgear engineering to repro the problem, observe, collect diagnostics via telnet.
Longtrail no ssh, just telnet. Once I connected via telnet, the opening screen revealed a Linux variant based on busybox. Didn't go any further than logging into the router.
