I have attempted to telnet into my Netgear Nighthawk r6900v2 from Windows10, Windows7 in a VM, Ubuntu linux.
I have attempted it with several different telnetenable scripts and the Python scripts - the attempts I thought were successful as I was able to deliver the package. But upon telnetting in and making the connection as well I am able to use "nvram show" command. When I try to burn the board ID though ?
bin/sh/ burnboardid not found
Any ideas on what's happening here or anyway to actually burn the board ID ?
The r6900v2 is a totally different unit. It isn't Broadcom. It's mediatek. https://wikidevi.com/wiki/Netgear_R6900v2 _________________ I am far from a guru, I'm barely a novice.

If anyone is having issues with telnet refusing to connect after doing telnetenable successfully, be sure to downgrade your firmware first. The newer firmware versions block these connections. I had this issue and just downgraded to the initial release.
I held on to this router (r6900) for over 2 years ...
never hardly used it until last month...
I got the newest firmware from netgear and ran it a few days..Wasn't happy at all...
STUPID ME
I was going to call it quits and put it back on the shelf...
Then I said to myself..." Dummy, bring it back to CostCo"
I am $195 richer today
and a note...never gonna buy another CostCo exclusive electronics item again...

UPDATE 2020
Corona virus forces us to get more speed via a Netgear CM1100 gigabit cable modem ($109 refurb via Amazon.)
400M service nets us 250M around the house with the same setup up as 4 years ago when I started this thread.
The R6900 V1 still works OK! _________________ AC1900 (R6900 V1) with dd-wrt and CM1100 modem
