Telnet access disabled since firmware version V1.0.2.76

Hello,

 

I just found out that the latest firmware update (V1.0.2.76) will not allow you anymore to access your router via telnet.

I know it is a (very) advanced feature, but still, it was handy for me to tweak some of the DHCP settings.

 

So I had to downgrade to the previous firmware version V1.0.2.68, which is a pitty, so I would be able again to activate the telnet option via the URL: 

http://www.routerlogin.net/debug.htm

 

To be honest, I am quite disappointed by the outdated router interface of this Netgear router, and the limited options available for more advanced use cases (which is why I needed the telnet access).

 

I will soon be moving to another brand, may-be ASUS router, it is Xmas soon :)

 

André
