Tenet command: not found

So ive been attmeptign to disable the 5g network or seperate the 2.4g and 5 g networks but no mater command i run its not found.

I guess you are trying the steps outlined in this post: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Orbi/How-to-disable-WiFi-on-the-Orbi-Router-or-Satellite/td-p/16775...  (read all the way through.  there are corrections)

 

The credentials needed are still "admin" for the user ID and the administrative password.  Interesting that your Orbi has a linux prompt of "#admin@", while my RBR50 shows a prompt of "root@".

 

I just typed the command on my Orbi and got my SSID.  Did you type config get "w" lowercase L, underscore, "ssid"?

Re: Tenet command: not found

I 100% have it correct "config wl_ssid" as you have stated. I keep gettign the error "/bin/ash: config: not found." I have looked though that post and those commadns also deliver the same error.

Re: Tenet command: not found

Well now, this is just strange.  Just to be onery, I logged in this time as "root" instead of "admin". TOOK IT!  Here's proof:

And, I do not get "/bin/ash: <command> not found"

What I get is "-ash: <command>: not found

 

It had NEVER occured to me that the RBR50 and RBR40 would have a different shell.

Wow!

Re: Tenet command: not found

Was the root password the same as admin or something different?

Re: Tenet command: not found

I entered the same administrative password using both user names ("admin" and "root")

Both ways, it said I was logged in as "root".

(Dumb me, I had never noticed that before.)

 

We have tons of users with Mac's on the forum.  Surely this isn't one of those "Mac vs. PC" things or someone would have mentioned it already.

MacOS -by default- does not support telnet any longer through terminal (since MacOS Mojave, I think).

What have you installed to get telnet to work? I gues the issue is there, unless you're using an older MacOS

Here is how I got telnet to work on my Macbook: http://osxdaily.com/2018/07/18/get-telnet-macos/

Re: Tenet command: not found

I'm aware I have installed telnet (a while back and even updated it to see if thst was the issue), Tried it with telnet, netcat, even went to windows on virtualbox. No dice always the same issue, I can log in but every command is not found.

Try help or any other commands like: cd, chdir pwd, .......

Also, does the command "configure" work?

Message 9 of 24

Re: Tenet command: not found

cd, chdir, ls, ifcongif, find, pwd, grep, and set seem to work. Config, get, and configure generate "bin/ash command:comand not found"

Re: Tenet command: not found

Is there anything else 'different' about when you log in? For example, the first thing I see is this:

BusyBox v1.24.1 (2019-06-28 21:18:41 CST) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

And, my prompt comes up as "root@RBR50#"

 

Like, even "help" doesn't work?

Wow, am I slow.  CBR40, as in "built-in cable modem" Orbi.  (The only model with one)  And, you've probably had it more than 90 days, so Netgear support won't answer even a simple question.

Have you tried logging in as "root"?

Message 14 of 24

Re: Tenet command: not found

Yup had it a while now with no issues, I have a device that requires an initial connection to a 2.4g network. Just wanted to turn off the 5g radio and trun it back on after. If I try logging on as root with mny saem admin passowrd it does not work. I cant think of any other password besides, root, and password. Those have not worked either =.

Re: Tenet command: not found

I agree.  The crazy thing is that logging on with "admin" and the Orbi administrative password is successful, but then (1) the prompt is not "root" and (2) BusyBox commands are not recognized. (even the error message is different from mine).

Re: Tenet command: not found

This is what I get if I run "busybox" , the commanbds listed there work. I dont see get or config

Re: Tenet command: not found

"config" is not in my BusyBox, either.  My BusyBox is v1.24.1 and yours is v1.23.2  My BusyBox has 99 commands that are not in yours, while yours has 8 commands that are not in mine.  There are 109 commands that are in both.  Who would have thought the Netgear team developing Orbi would use entirely different versions of BusyBox for different products?

 

Can you log into the Orbi, change directories to /bin and list all the files?  i.e.

cd /bin

ls -l

Re: Tenet command: not found

Our systems are not anything alike.  I have no idea how they can be so different and perform the same functions.

 

Since we are not getting very far in this direction, maybe it would be useful to open a new post and ask for advice on getting the specific device to connect to Orbi.  For example, when people began complaining about their "Smart Plug" needed 2.4G to connect, I purchased a bunch of them and found that they ALL connected just fine.  Even the one that complained, "Must set phone to 2.4G!!!"  I simply ignored the message, hit "Continue", and the plug worked.

 

It is well-established that it is not the presence of the Orbi 5G signal that interferes with the actual device.  The device has only a 2.4G radio and thus is blissfully ignorant of 5G, just as it isn't bothered by 900MHz wireless phones or cell phone signals.  Sometimes it is the smartphone app that is written poorly.

The user has a CBR40 which differs from the RBR units...The CBR40 is a built in CM700 cable modem. I presume the backend FW will differ from RBR systems. I have the CBR40 as well...

Re: Tenet command: not found

Yes, we discovered that his model has the built-in modem.  What comes as a surprise to me is how different the firmware is.  It is still an Orbi.  One wonders how the Netgear engineers even work on it with all the BusyBox commands that are missing (99 if I counted correctly).

Re: Tenet command: not found

Ya however the HW system and FW is different and there are two different depts working on each system. There separate systems thus there is probably a disconnect between them. The FW version have never really synced between the RBR and CBR. The CBR is based off the 40 series system. Hoever I presume they have to do things to make it all work with the modem inside. It is it's own system and shouldn't be treated as similar or same as the RBR systems.
