Networking – Can’t telnet to router

networkingroutertelnet

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.
