Definitely just start here - all the instructions you need are on the
one page and it's pretty trivial to setup and test:
https://wiki.openwrt.org/toh/netgear/telnet.console
On your older router model + firmware you should be able to access the
"hidden" backdoor admin access "feature" that Netgear so kindly left for
you. With that you can recover/change passwords, dump configs and rather
amusingly, actually fix the hole itself using the exploit :|
Apologies for inducing yet more existential angst about the big scary
internet - maybe someone else will chime with a balancing opinion and
tell you that I'm overstating it, the internet is secure, corporations
and governments have your back and care for you and there's bound to be
an accidental little flaw in software here and there so there's nothing
to worry about.
Anyone?
Cheers
