Nighthawk EAX80 (AX6000) Telnet

Question

Hey there, is there any way to enable Telnet or SSH on the WiFi Extender/Access Point?
I have multiple problems always with this Extender/Access Point which can only be fixed when I reboot the device.

I want to use Telnet to maybe locate and software fix the problem instead of rebooting randomly all the time.

Kind regards,

I could figure out the problem/s:1. The DNS Server wasnt the new one in my network2. uPnP wasnt active (crashed on pfsense) so the HomePod couldnt connect for some reason.&nbsp;The problems should be now fixed, but anyway I´m still interested in some SSH/Telnet functionality. is there any Netgear Access Point which still has this feature?&nbsp;Kind regards,

Not currently. telnet has be pulled from more devices lately.&nbsp;
1. what firmware version are you on?&nbsp;
2. what router did you connect it to?&nbsp;
3. what method of setup did you use? WPS? or the installation assistant?

1. what firmware version are you on?&nbsp;V1.0.1.70_1.0.22. what router did you connect it to? pfSense Router (CE v2.6.0)3. what method of setup did you use? WPS? or the installation assistant? Installation assistent, normal WiFi Connection (WPA2 Password)&nbsp;The problem isnt that simple, sometimes the devices says connected but can´t reach the internet.Some traffic gets lost and can only be fixed via reboot.

have you set a static ip address for it in your pfsense device?&nbsp;

Hey, no i set it up in the Access Point itself, is it better to configure the static IP in the DHCP Server from pfSense?
