How to disable R7000 ssh serivce ?

Hi ,

Does any one know how to disable R7000 ssh serivce?

My R7000 be enabled ssh server and I cann't login it .

 

  • AFAIK, the R7000 doesn't have an ssh server.  To be safe, you should reinstall firmware to wipe out anything that may have been installed by a hacker.  You should install the latest firmware in order to pick up the fix for the big security vulnerability that was publicized last week.  Download the firmware here.

  • If you can't login a Factory Reset may be the only way.  This will unfortunately erase all your settings as well.

    Hope this helps

  • Hi Clithes,
    I had tried factory rest but ssh server on my r7000 still be enabled. Does ssh server default setting enabled? Or someone hacked my r7000 and enabled ssh (dropbear ssh server)
