This probably applies to most Technicolor routers.

ssh is enabled from the LAN, and can be accessed using the engineer user and the admin password.

The CLI is fairly minimal, there is no manual :-( N.B. If you choose to play with the CLI, the rtfd command will reset the router to factory default setting, without any warning or Y/N prompt.

ssh can be disabled if you want, you can do this via ssh. ssh in to the router and paste the following which will disable the access:

set InternetGatewayDevice.Services.X_000E50_AccessManagement.SSH.ServerAccess.1.Enable 0

The command will run, and should report no error. type exit to exit from the ssh session. (see screenshot)

ssh disable command

Then reboot the router.

Then when you try to ssh, you'll get:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused

To revert the change, you'll need to reset the router and re-configure.
