Help "telnet: Unable to connect to remote host"

[Mario]

RT-AC68U
Firmware: 374.42_2 (Merlin build)
I can't connect via telnet:

marios-imac:~ mario$ telnet 10.0.1.1
Trying 10.0.1.1...
telnet: connect to address 10.0.1.1: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

Any idea?

Make sure you enable telnet, under Administration -> System.

Also since you are using my firmware, enabling and using SSH instead of telnet would be preferable.

Telnet was disabled, now I can connect. Sorry to waste your time.
BTW, you are doing a great job with this custom fw, thank you.
