Linksys Access Points Component not working

Configuration
1

Hello

I am trying to get the linksys AP component to work. I keep getting an error not sure how to resolve it. my Linksys router is EA9500. When I login into my router it doesn’t ask me for an admin name just a password. Not sure if that is some concern?

here is my log:

Similar problem with EA9500. Many Linksys routers don’t have a username, but username is not optional in Linksys_ap

essentially just times out with credential errors and will not connect
Can we make username optional?

3

Yes exactly this! I don’t have an option to put a username in Linksys router.

Thank you

4

I don’t have a clue about how this interfaces with Home Assistant but Linksys routers usually don’t have a login user name, usually that field is blank. Have you tried root or admin?

5

Yes I have tried admin and root and they both do not work as a username.

6

Bump, Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

Thank you

7

Bumpity bump. Anyone get this working?

8

I’m guessing this only works on true access points only, and not routers that can be access points. I’ve tried with every possible UN variant I could think of.

9

Ditto here. I have an EA6500 and I’m getting an authentication error with admin as the username. Anyone resolved yet?

10

EA6900, same problem!

11

WRT 1200 AC…same problem

12

I have a WRT1900AC. I have not tried this component yet, but I’m wondering if it has something to do with the “linksys smart wifi” management portal. Has anyone tried disabling that to go back to a more old school linksys management page? I also get prompted for username/email and password when I hit the router’s IP from inside my network. Of course that is through the “smart wifi” page.

Last update in May on this discussion…
Just wanted to share the “linksys_smart” worked for me on EA6900
