Networking – Telnet cannot connect to localhost on port 23

firewallnetworkingroutertelnetwireless-networking

I am using bat file assigned with vbs script to change router configuration every 15 minutes through the day through telnet commands. It works as supposed for a while then it shows this message
"Could not open connection to the host, on port 23: Connect failed"
I can't open default gateway on web interface too, I can't even login through telnet or web interface until I power off/on router it self.
How I can solve this?

  1. Try to check the 'Services' console and verify the 'Telnet' service is running.

  2. To isolate the issue, turnoff your Firewall and Antivirus software. If these security software blocks the telnet process, then add the rules to exclude this telnet process which is being blocked frequently.

Hope this helps.
