}

Supported Parameters:

• about
• version
• info
• wan
• wlan
• 24ghz
• 5ghz
• dhcp_settings
• dhcp_clients
• restart
• logout

Return Format: Dictionary

Set

Change Password of 2.4Ghz Network:

router._set('24ghz', [{'[LAN_WLAN#1,1,0,0,0,0#0,0,0,0,0,0]0,5': {'X_TP_PreSharedKey': 'new_password'}}])

Enable/Disable WAN PPPoE:

# Enable
router._set('wan', [{}, {'[WAN_PPP_CONN#1,1,1,0,0,0#0,0,0,0,0,0]1,19': {'enable': '1'}}, {}])

# Disable
router._set('wan', [{}, {'[WAN_PPP_CONN#1,1,1,0,0,0#0,0,0,0,0,0]1,19': {'enable': '0'}}])

Return Format: Boolean

Supported Parameters:

• wan
• 24ghz
• 5ghz

_set() only updates the keys passed in argument 2. All other values are either fetched from the router wherever available.

Note 1: Value Format

All key/values passed in Argument 2 of _set() must be strings.
Argument 2 passed to _set() must be a List of Dictionaries.

Note 2: Positional Arguments

Each list item in Argument 2 of _set() directly corresponds to each subtask in the process.
Omitting an item in the list will ignore that subtask. (See Example: Disable WAN PPPoE, index[2] omitted)
To run a subtask without updating any of its values, pass an empty dictionary in its position.

Models

This has only been tested on the TP-Link Archer C50 V1 running firmware 160411.
Supported Models (known):

• TP-Link Archer C50 V1
• TP-Link N600

Error 500 & Login Limit

The TP-Link Web Interface only supports upto 1 user logged in at a time (for security reasons, apparently) which is the most common reason to recieve HTTP ERROR 500. As a workaround, you must log out from all other devices/browsers and try again. Additionally, you may also run router._get('logout')

Troubleshooting/Error Reporting/Contributing

• If you face an error, you may debug using a HTTP Requests tool/monitor on your router's configuration webpage. Additionally, you may open a new issue on this repo prefixed by [Bug]
• If you would like to help improve the package, request features or add support for more models, open an issue prefixed by [Feature Request] or [Improvement]

PRs and Commit Template
