Hi

 

I just had a new DSL connection set up with Orcon, and they've sent me their Orcon branded Netcomm NF4V router.

 

I want to extract the Orcon Genius password from the router, but to do so I need Telnet access into the router.

 

It looks like Orcon have disabled this option, as there is no telnet option under Services in Access Control.

 

I understand Orcon don't supply this password as it contravenes their T&C.

 

Does anyone know if I can update to the vanilla Netcomm firmware, and not lose the password information in the process?

 

Cheers

Hi all

 

I don't know why I assumed Orcon would not give out settings - I based this on reading previous messages from a couple of years ago.

 

I called them and they gave the PPP settings to me. They have been generally quite helpful.

 

All good

 

Thanks
