I have a TP-Link TD-w8961 router and I'm trying to connect to it using telnet. I've tried this command: telnet 192.168.1.1 but it times out. I've also tried connecting to port 80 and i get the following result Connected to 192.168.1.1. Escape character is '^]'. Then it hangs there, until the connection gets closed by the remote host. It doesn't even ask me for a password. Do you know why? Thanks

Use your browser to connect to the router then log in as the admin. Go to Management, Access Control, Remote Access. There is a tick box there to enable Telnet. Hope this helps.

Actually there's no tick box there. Here is a screenshot. I've tried to enable telnet by adding it to the table but no luck, still the same result https://imgur.com/a/YTQjb (sorry if it is in italian)

1Port 80 is the web interface, so you need to open in a browser, not in
telnet. Check your firewall settings to make sure that you can connect to the telnet port (23), and that this port is open on the router (nmap 192.168.1.1). – AFH – 2018-04-06T15:14:27.160Related: https://superuser.com/a/947956/772515

I know that port forwarding isn't the way because it won't let me forward a port on 192.168.1.1 – Deci – 2018-04-06T15:19:55.473
