Hi, i have just instaled open wrt on my TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND 1.8, so i ca access via httl(LUCI) but when i trie to access via telnet all i get is:

telnet 192.168.1.1 22
Trying 192.168.1.1...
Connected to 192.168.1.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
SSH-2.0-dropbear_0.52

So i cant put any command, or do anything.
I even tried different ports but i get no response, i need to get access because y want to use it like bridged AP.
In the other hand when i try to change some config with LUCI it works but i need to access again to the LUCI interface.

THANKS

Hi,

Telnet is port 23. After first telnetting to your router, set a password with passwd. After that, telnet will be disabled and SSH enabled, which is secure (as telnet is not).
Port 22 is SSH. Use an SSH client like PuTTY.

Greetings

All i get with the port 23 is:

telnet 192.168.1.1 23
Trying 192.168.1.1...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.1.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

so i cant put a password.

So i use Terminal on MacOSX

i have just reset to default, i used telnet to change password and tried to get in via SSH(cyberduck) but it get in and out before i can see anything, all i get is SSH_FXP_INIT and no ssh page or anything appears!
