I object in the strongest possible terms (ref new firmware auto update and removing TELNET option)

I have more to report:

• Was not able to get nte to work on Windows 10. The program appears to have executed, but produces zero output and definitely does not activate telnet on the Orbi RBR50.
• The python based Windows exe file cannot be copied because Windows 10 throws an error saying the file contains a virus.
  When I seem to have unzipped the exe file and try to copy it, it disappears.  Wanted to create a Firewall exception for it, but have been unable to even get it out of the zip file.
• The Python script also failed  on Windows 10.  Not certain what I have done wrong.
  just get a string of error messages:
  Netgear LBR20 Telnet enabler V2 LBR20(c) B.Kerler 2021
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  for res in _socket.getaddrinfo(host, port, family, type, proto, flags):

For me, the Linux success may be enough.  And, maybe I'll figure out what's wrong with Windows tomorrow.
