Is it possible to login to my router os/file system? Model (AC3600) NightHawk X6S
Is there any way to SSH into the router/file sysetm for my router? I would like to be able to manipulate the way the router works, or is intended to work.
It's neither intended nor supported. Many changes can disappear over uptime and almost certainly following a reboot due to the embedded system characteristics.
Some Netgear routers require a hack, other models offer the ability to enable a telnet access using /debug.htm

Thank you for the reply. I will most certainly purchase another router that proides this capability.
Manufacturers of consumer grade routers do not want/like end users poking around and maybe trying to do some tweeking and breaking things then blaming the manufacturer.
Have to go toward the commercial grade side for ease of ssh and looking/editing files. I can log into my router via ssh but not a Netgear.
