Dear support team,
How can I enable debug mode,
When I do it at command line, it always gives a Sign String,
What is the algorithm to provide a Sign Result?

Hi @BruceInSG
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
We do not provide any sort of way to enter root or debug mode.
If you experience a problem with the router, please contact the support team.
If we need to enter debug mode, we will do so via our device.

@Clive_A The debug mode is essentially full UNIX terminal in disguise. I have been using Linux system for a very long time and have experienced with this type of modification.
I need it because there's some changes I can make that's not available on the web management (for example, replacing HTTPS certificate, which this feature has been requested before and never implemented).
We're also users who paid for the product, so it makes no sense to lock us from privileged access. If we brick the device from doing so, we'll take the warranty loss.
For the next firmware update, please consider granting users full terminal access. A lot of enterprise router allows IT to access terminal already, and consider this is a business product, it should be the same. It's also not just me who wants this access, a lot of other advanced users wants it too.
I am aware of this. However, we don't provide SSH privileges to any users. We do not consider granting access to users. In the previous firmware, you can gain access somehow based on the Internet guide. But we are tightening this up.
If you need to debug, contact our support team and work with the dev via a remote session.

@Clive_A Hi, is there a reason to lock debug mode behind authentication at all?
I have my own use case that requires accessing debug mode..

We don't provide such a feature in the product. If you need to debug, contact our support and our dev will help you debug it.
