Discovery not working well / port 5555

[vyasbhavin]

Hi,
I get the most basic of errors, unable to login. Confirmed that the password is accurate by logging in to the UI.

The test code is a copy / paste from the instructions.

// create a router session, login to router, fetch attached devices
const Netgear = require('netgear');

const router = new Netgear();

async function getDevices() {
        try {
                const options = { password: '****', method: 0, host: 'routerlogin.net', username: 'admin', port: 80 };
                await router.login(options);
                const deviceArray = await router.getAttachedDevices();
                console.log(deviceArray);
        } catch (error) {
                console.log(error);
        }
}

getDevices();

Router is a supported version: R6400v2
I have a Nighthawk App and Circle, which both are able to connect to the router, so assuming the API connection is working.

I get Error: Failed to login

Any thoughts on where I can look further to debug?

Can you post the full test response? Use 'npm test password=whateveritis' from the netgear folder.

For sure.

Very strange that it's unable to discover a Netgear route, I wonder if there is a Netgear setting that I need to enable for discovery, though Nighthawk App and Circle are both working and able to connect

UPDATE:

Running it a second time, discovery works and I get the Failed to login error. Here's the full message.

Testing now. Hang on.....

Ah, that is already helpful. It seems your soap port is 5555.

So try this:
npm test password=yourpass host=192.168.1.1 port=5555 tls=true

[vyasbhavin]

Super useful, much appreciated @gruijter! that solved it. In my JS script, I also have to explicitly specify username='admin' - but then it works. Thanks for your help!

[gruijter]

Super!
I will keep this issue open however, because your settings should have been detected during autodiscovery.

Guess I need to figure out why it is going wrong. It might be a timing issue since you got a different result the second time running the discovery.

Thx for the feedback!

[gruijter]

Can you try to run the test again with the new version 4.4.2?

Use npm test password=yourpass

[vyasbhavin]

Sure @gruijter

Still failing with just that ```Testing now. Hang on.....

I know this issue request is quite old , but one of the things I have been doing to ensure that I can connect is:

        var loginOptions = {}; //creating an array to store the login options
        const currentSetting = await router.getCurrentSetting(); //getting the routers settings which also happens to have port information
	loginOptions['password'] = 'PASSWORD';
	loginOptions['username'] = 'admin';
	loginOptions['timeout'] = 60000; //no idea what time out does to be honest I just made it long assuming its how long it takes to get logged out
	loginOptions['port'] = currentSetting.port; //set the port to the correct port for logging in
	loginOptions['host'] = '192.168.1.1';
	router.login(loginOptions); //login using the settings provided above

Doing the above it self identifies its required port using the getCurrentSetting() which works without being logged in to the router

EDIT: I just noticed in the above message that port was Undefined, based on that im not certain that my method in this would work, unless getCurrentSetting() also has the SOAP_HTTPs_PORT as a key/value (havent checked) if it does can do something like: loginOptions['port'] = (currentSetting.port) ? currentSetting.port : currentSetting.SOAP_HTTPs_PORT; (this is if this key exists)
