:coffee: Support AsusRouter

Monetary support:

  • You can make a donation using the Buy Me a Coffee service
  • Thinking of buying a new Asus router to use with AsusRouter integration? Check the compatibility list in our Docs. If you will use any of the Amazon Associate links, I might get a small (1-3%) bonus from Amazon (usage of the associate links does not change the price of the items for you)

Non-monetary support:

  • Star AsusRouter repository
  • Know a person with an Asus device using Home Assistant but not AsusRouter? Let them know, AsusRouter is cool and has lots of useful features

:hammer_and_pick: New firmware support

Maybe you have already seen it, but some of the newer devices have recent beta FW versions starting with 9.0.0.6. In this case, 9 just means beta, but the more important part is switching from 4 to 6. Not like Asus did it ever before, so some parts of the API might become completely different - who knows?

My goal will be to support all the possible devices and FWs but in case of large changes that will take some time. Also, rumours are not on the side of older devices (including my RT-AX88U), so I am not sure when I will get a chance to try these new versions in real life.


:loudspeaker: Want AsusRouter to become a native part of Home Assistant?

:vertical_traffic_light: Not an announcement anymore

@spry-salt, might be, that something was not cached properly. In any case, I am glad, everything works fine for you now.

@majorsl, @dr3as, please, check the new access_point mode and let me know what do you think and whether it should be improved more.

P.S. to everyone. If I have forgotten to answer your message here on the forum, just remind me - it’s completely fine. From time to time I might postpone replying and then forget. Sorry in such a case :slightly_smiling_face:
