Can not add asuswrt to config file

Configuration
1

Hi!
I´m new to Home Assistant and as one of my first tries, I want to get control of the users connected to the WiFi.
I have a Asus router, which I can connect to by using telnet.
But when I try to add the asuswrt into my config file I get the below error message.
Any idea what is the problem?

Log Details (ERROR)

Invalid config for [asuswrt]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘asuswrt’]. Got ‘host:192.168.1.1 username:admin password:MyAsusPwd protocol:telnet’. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/asuswrt/
I run version 0.95.4 and my configuration.yaml file looks like this:

default_config:

asuswrt:
  host:192.168.1.1
  username:admin
  password:MyAsusPwd
  protocol:telnet
2

check your spacing.

asuswrt:
  host: 192.168.1.1
  username: admin
  password: MyAsusPwd
  protocol: telnet

Thanks!
After correcting this, and also resetting my configuration.yaml file to make sure there are no other issues, I now get another error:

But when I look in usr/src there is no file at all.
Any clue what I need to correct?

That means it can’t make the connection to your router.

you have to make sure that all of your credentials/protocol are correct and that your router is listening.

I personally use ssh so I don’t have any experience with telnet.

Default port is 22 so if you use Telnet, you need to use port 23 (I think). But why not just use ssh?

Thanks @DavidFW1960. Adding the port 22 did the trick!
Reason why I did not use SSH was that I thought it looked more complex to setup, but maybe I should I hvae tried that instead!

Anyway, now it works!
Thanks all for your friendly support!
