RAX50 Blank Output from Script

[chronz]

Hi there!

I am trying to enable telnet on an RAX50 with FW version V1.0.12.120_2.0.83 (the same as mentioned in the supported devices list). However, when I run the command, I only get this output and the script closes and telnet still is not enabled.

C:\Users\Chris\Downloads>python3.11 ./telnet-enable.py 192.168.1.1 CX:XE:X3:B4:05:XE admin 'P@ssw0rd!!'
Netgear Telnet enabler V3.1 (c) B.Kerler 2021-2023

Am I missing something? The MAC address I used is the LAN MAC address as printed on the router sticker and shown on the UI. Just fyi, I also tried the older versions of telnet-enable.py with the same result.

Would appreciate any help, thanks!

If the single quotes are not part of your password, they are probably the failures origin. Try replacing them with double quotes. Like this:

>python3.11 ./telnet-enable.py 192.168.1.1 CX:XE:X3:B4:05:XE admin "P@ssw0rd!!"
