pynetgear-enhanced 0.2.0

Access Netgear routers using their SOAP API

pyNetgear_Enhanced

pyNetgear_Enhanced provides an easy to use Python API to control your Netgear router. It uses the SOAP-api on modern Netgear routers to communicate. It is built by reverse engineering the requests made by the NETGEAR Genie app.

pyNetgear_Enhanced works with Python 3.

If you are connected to the network of the Netgear router, a host is optional. If you are connected via a wired connection to the Netgear router, a password is optional. The username defaults to admin. The port defaults to 5000. The ssl defaults to false. You can specify url and it will take precedence on host/port/ssl parameters. This allows the use of HTTPS, https://orbilogin.com for example.

Thanks to:
MatMaul for the original code.
gruijter for additional SOAP endpoints.

It currently supports the following operations:

• login
  Logs in to the router. Will return True or False to indicate success.

• allow_block_device
  Allows user to block/unblock devices from accessing router by specifying mac_addr and new device_status (Block/Allow)
  Note: In order to use this function, Remote Management must be enabled in the router's admin settings.

SERVICE_DEVICE_CONFIG:

• reboot
  Reboot device.

• check_new_firmware
  Return a dict containing the Firmware info.

• set_block_device_enable
  Enable/Disable Access Control.

• get_block_device_enable_status
  Return a dict containing the Status of Access Control.

• get_traffic_meter_statistics
  Return a dict containing the traffic meter information from the router (if enabled in the webinterface).

• enable_traffic_meter
  Enable/Disable Traffic Meter.

• get_traffic_meter_enabled
  Return a dict containing the Status of Traffic Meter.

• get_traffic_meter_options
  Return a dict containing the Traffic Meter Options.

SERVICE_PARENTAL_CONTROL:

• enable_parental_control
  Enable/Disable Parental Control.

• get_parental_control_enable_status
  Return a dict containing the Status of Parental Control.

• get_all_mac_addresses
  Return a dict containing the MAC Addresses.

• get_dns_masq_device_id
  Return a dict containing the DNS Masq device IDs.

SERVICE_DEVICE_INFO:

• get_info
  Return a dict containing the Router Information.

• get_support_feature_list_XML
  Return a dict containing the Supported Features.

• get_attached_devices
  Returns a list of named tuples describing the device signal, ip, name, mac, type, link_rate and allow_or_block.

• get_attached_devices_2
  Returns a list of named tuples describing the device signal, ip, name, mac, type, link_rate, allow_or_block, device_type, device_model, ssid and conn_ap_mac.
  This call is slower and probably heavier on the router load.

SERVICE_ADVANCED_QOS:

• set_speed_test_start
  Starts the Speed Test.

• get_speed_test_result
  Return a dict containing the Speed Test Results.
  You will have to wait several seconds following starting the speed test to get the final results.

• set_qos_enable_status
  Enable/Disable QOS.

• get_qos_enable_status
  Return a dict containing the Status of QOS.

• get_bandwidth_control_options
  Return a dict containing the Bandwidth Control Options.

SERVICE_WLAN_CONFIGURATION:

• set_guest_access_enabled
  Enable/Disable 2.4g Guest WiFi.

• get_guest_access_enabled
  Return a dict containing the Status of 2.4g Guest Wifi.

• set_guest_access_enabled_2
  Enable/Disable 2.4g Guest WiFi 2.

• set_5g_guest_access_enabled
  Enable/Disable 5g Guest Wifi.

• get_5g_guest_access_enabled
  Return a dict containing the Status of 5g Guest Wifi.

• get_wpa_security_keys
  Return a dict containing the 2.4g WPA Key.

• get_5g_wpa_security_keys
  Return a dict containing the 5g WPA Key.

• get_2g_info
  Return a dict containing the 2.4g Info.

• get_5g_info
  Return a dict containing the 5g Info.

• get_guest_access_network_info
  Return a dict containing the 2.4g Guest Network Info.

• get_5g_guest_access_network_info
  Return a dict containing the 5g Guest Network Info.

Installation

You can install pyNetgear_Enhanced from PyPi using:
pip3 install pynetgear_enhanced.

Usage

For a list of commands run from the console:
$ python3 -m pynetgear_enhanced -h

For testing append a -t to the command from the console.
$ python3 -m pynetgear_enhanced -p='MyEscapedPassword!' --check_fw -t

To use within your Python scripts:

from pynetgear import Netgear

netgear = Netgear(password=mypassword)

for i in netgear.get_attached_devices():
    print i
