Asuswrt device tracker is broken - please release a fix

you need some more feedback from ssh. -v goves you verbose output, and every time you add another v you get more feedback. So try

ssh -vvv [then the rest of your normal ssh command]

nice! didn’t know that, thanks.

result:

OpenSSH_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.7.3

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 48: Applying options for *

debug2: resolve_canonicalize: hostname 192.168.1.1 is address

debug2: ssh_connect_direct: needpriv 0

debug1: Connecting to 192.168.1.1 [192.168.1.1] port 22.

debug1: connect to address 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused

was thinking maybe the firewall causes this, but disabling that gives the same result.

I guess the other test is

nmap -p 22 IPADDR

and see if the port is even open (or run ssh with another v)

I tried adding another v but that didn’t change the output.
nmap sint recognized:

nmap -p 22 192.168.1.1

-bash: nmap: command not found

just to be 100% positive about the ip address:

https://192.168.1.1:8443 logs me in to the webinterface .

I had capitals in my username, thought that might trouble the setup, so took these out. Still no luck…
btw, I use a RT-AC3200

—UPDATE—

I am in! after changing all obvious and less obvious settings in the router, I changed login name to lowercase only and logged out to login with the new username. Of course I was locked out… simply no way to login anymore, mac or app.

decided the last and final option before resetting factory settings, and hardware rebooted.
et voilà: the ssh into the router went smooth as silk:

debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for reply

debug3: receive packet: type 52

debug1: Authentication succeeded (password).

Authenticated to 192.168.1.1 ([192.168.1.1]:22).

now hoping HA can log in too…#fingerscrossed

–UPDATE2–

bingo!
