Command-line

The command-line interface (CLI) means interacting with the router system where the user issues commands to the router system through command lines.

Secure Shell (SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol to access the router’s command-line interface. The 5G router offers various ways to access the command-line interface.

Web Terminal

After accessing the router, go to System > Terminal. Input the default username root and the router password. You will then receive the welcome message on the web terminal interface.

* The web terminal is unavailable under the Traversal Cloud mode.
