Ahhh! The telnet port was set to "21". Setting it to 23 fixed the telnet problem. Onward and Upward!

Greetings! One of the interesting features of this router is that it is extremely configurable. So much so that I am beginning to wonder which Linux distribution it's based on! 😉 One feature is the ability to add additional functionality via both the web interface and Open Packages. 1. How do I know how much of my router's memory is available for use? 2. How full is "too full"? (How much "headroom" should I leave?) 3. Where do I find these Open Packages? 4. How will I know if a particular package is compatible with my router? 5. The OPKG package manager configuration page asks for an "initrc script". What should I provide? Thanks! P.S. I found this: https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/additional-software/opkg It seems both useful and gnarly.

Of course. 🤪😉 It is connected via an Ethernet cable through a dumb switch. Neither a hard wired nor WiFi connection will connect. My wife's computer, (which is directly connected to the router itself via an Ethernet cable), also fails. I'm sure there's some setting somewhere that I set, (or failed to set), that causes this. Also. . . . All these devices are "registered".

Greetings! Router: Keenetic Giga (KN-1012) EAEU System: Linux Mint 22.3 I have been trying to establish a SSH connection to my Keenetic router but I keep getting "Connection Refused". I found and installed the SSH module and rebooted the router. Research indicates that I have to issue certain specific commands via the "command line interface", (telnet) to activate it. The instructions indicate that telnet is enabled by default and that I should open a telnet connection to the IP address of the router - which opens the router's CLI. Unfortunately, telnet also returns "connection refused". Every solution I searched for cycles back to needing the CLI to enable/change things, but I have to do something to enable the CLI so that I can change things to enable the CLI to enable things to enable. . . . Etc. I've installed putty on my system and I've also tried via a Linux terminal window. Neither SSH nor telnet can connect; both return "connection refused". Update: Using putty installed on Windows 10, both telnet and SSH also return "connection refused". What am I missing? Jim
