For any noobs like me!

First of all thank you very, very much my friend! As you I hate being locked out my own devices.

I have a mw3 I just bought.. And if any other users are facing dificulties like me here it goes:

• Check if your cable is plugged on the LAN port not the WAN, otherwise it won't work.
• The user is: root
• The password is you CURRENT wifi password encoded in base64, in case your default password on the stick isn't working). use this site to encode https://www.base64encode.org/
• Make sure the port is correctly ie. Port 23
• Careful with the password since the letter L and the letter i, are the same shape when lowercase and uppercase respectively.

Happy rooting to you all fellas.

• I'm on 1.0.0.20(9972)
• Connected to LAN port
• telnet -l root 192.168.5.1 23
• press Reset for 3 seconds

But I am not able to connect?

$ telnet -l root 192.168.5.1 23
Trying 192.168.5.1...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.5.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

My goal is to add port forwarding for a device connected with ethernet cable to the LAN port, which seems impossible in the app?

Here is how I did it:
My Nas was not recognized by tenda for port forwarding. So I turned off my nas, assigned its static IP to my Samsung phone which was recognized before in DHCP. Now I set the port forward to the phone, and put it back to DHCP. Turned on the nas and "voilà", the port forward remains set to the static IP =)

@xifi-kif nice lateral thinking! Thanks for sharing.

My solution was to make sure the device connected to LAN was using DHCP, then it appeared in the Port Forwarding screen.

With fixed IP, the device did not appear in the Port Forwarding screen.

This is not very versatile as you're limited to using whatever IP the device gets from DHCP.
