As I understand it, telnet is insecure and outdated.

So why is that option still included with some routers? I mean I appreciate it, I used telnet to disable automatic updates in my Netgear Orbi after it decided to attempt to go down to update at 8:00 AM (I'll be coming into work on Saturdays when I need to deal with updates).

I'm just confused. If it's antiquated and insecure, why it is still an option?

Also, why did I have to use telnet to disable automatic updates? Did I miss an option in the routers GUI and just do things the hard way?
