Is there an option to download a backup of the config, where it might be found?None. I'm going to have to phone them to request it

NoAfter service activation can I plug a 10G SPF ONT fibre transceiver module directly into it instead of using the wall mounted ONT with 1G ethernet port.
When opened with Notepad or a text editor, is text or binary seen? I guess the string "pppoe" does not appear when using the search function?Have saved a backup of the config but it's encrypted and can't open it
Never a waste of time to grab a potentially important AES key. The information content of that is probably huge (i.e. not guessable) and might be useful for devices released a decade later (hopefully not, and instead unique to the device so hopefully useless).Ah right a technicolor (post rebrand) - you should be able to get the PPP creds using the usual "top" method
If not there is another way but you need to run some extra commands on the router to get the AES key the config's encrypted with - more faff then it's worth really and worth calling Vodafone in this instance.
Yep exactly - unique per device but fair point around extra info! I'm tempted to try and source a router to play with if any pop up on ebay anytime soonNever a waste of time to grab a potentially important AES key.

A couple on eBay right now going cheap. Search for Vodafone Pro Broadband ll Ultra HubYep exactly - unique per device but fair point around extra info! I'm tempted to try and source a router to play with if any pop up on ebay anytime soon
I'll also keep an eye out, seems like a non-terrible device to have spare anywayYep exactly - unique per device but fair point around extra info! I'm tempted to try and source a router to play with if any pop up on ebay anytime soon

May as well see where exactly it falls over. Sometimes it's just a cipher issue.ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused
Looks like ssh access is disabled
ssh -vvv 192.168.1.1May as well see where exactly it falls over. Sometimes it's just a cipher issue.
ssh -vvv 192.168.1.1
Doesn't feel like a SSH server is running there at all. Seems like original guess was correct, below would confirm.ssh -vvv 192.168.1.1

Could nmap for fun to see what is open.

.bin indicates it's a binary file which means it's not text. Unless you know what binary format the file is on and you have a program that's compatible with that binary format you won't be able to see the contents in clear text.When you save the router's backup config to computer you need to assign a password. It saves a .bin file with 280kb of contents but can't seem to open it manually even with the password I created.
Run "file" on the file to confirm it's an unknown binary rather than a known encrypted file type. Run "strings" on the file to print the readable strings if it's not an encrypted file.When you save the router's backup config to computer you need to assign a password.
