Re: R8500 console access procedure

You can telnet into router.  You can use a telnetenable executable that's freely available on the Internet (use the correct one for your model).  Alternatively, it may be possible to enable telnet access through a debug menu (e.g. http://routerlogin.com/debug.htm).   I saw a post recently about that.

 

Once you are in, it's pretty much a BusyBox console.

Console access usually refers to access via serial port.  This is different from remote access.  Which one are you asking about?

@TheEther

Let me clarify the question, Is there a way to access the raw datas on the router, such as the way the router sees the USB drives or printer or temperature.

@TheEtherI know 3 stuff to access thru telnet but as you are a wiseman I need to be lectured a bit and to feel less stupid! So do you have some docs or procedure or stuff like this to enlight me a bit!!

Thanks!

@TheEther  do you have this procedure applying to NG official FW?

Because I am currently using the NG FW not the DD version.

It should work on stock firmware.  It's been a while since I used stock firmware (maybe a couple of years), but it did work back then.  AFAIK, Netgear has not removed support.

@TheEther  thanks for the reply and as I am a bit of a moron on that topic I'll try to sort it out it will take time!!!!

 

If you you have a "dumy version" connecting the dots shoot!

Re: R8500 console access procedure

If you are on Windows, then read the section New TelnetEnable on Windows.  There are plenty of examples on the webpage on how to execute it.
