Integration WAX214

[Elmout33]

I need some help.
After installation I go to "Configuration -> Integration -> Add Integration -> Netgear WAX".

I complete the forms with my informations :

• Username : admin
• Password : mypassword which work on my admin portal (https://192.168.1.32/cgi-bin/luci)
• Address : 192.168.1.32
• Port : 443

But I get the error message : "Username, Password, or Address is wrong."
The only info which can be wrong I think it's the port but how I can I check the port ? In the admin portal I don't find the info

Thanks a lot !

@rroller ?

Same issue here. WAX214 and can't get past the initial integration setup. Do we need to have any settings in the router turned on to allow this communication? Like SNMP?

[Elmout33]

@Jeepmb I don't find any doc or thread which say that ... I try some changes like SNMP or CLI or API things but nothing works for now ...

Same issue, WAX218. Have a feeling that its something to do with the username input field. Its not required or changable on the device itself, and the integration requires the username field.

Integration logging in while attempting to pass a username to a device that will not accept it an issue?

I've tried my password in the integration setup as well, so I'm not really sure.

#12 (comment)

I was crestfallen already as you will see from my other post but scrolling these comments makes me realise that the only way forward is delete the download owing to the code owner not replying to anyone about not being able to get over the start line and log in!

Same behavior with my WAX630.
Is there already a solution or workaround?

[MarwanZeitoun]

WAX610 same issue here!

I also have the same issue with WAX218. I will bet that no matter what you do, it is expecting a secure connection. You say that https connection works, but I have never seen this work for mine or maybe I am missing a setting.

If I go to https://192.168.x.x for my AP, it shows the connection as insecure.

[MD1848]

my solution is to completely delete the integration and do it again

It looks like a different authentication mechanism.

mine is a post to https://192.168.0.254/cgi-bin/luci

with the following url encoded form data:

username=admin&password=PASSWORD&agree=1&agree_info=on

/socketCommunication just 404s

mine is a post to https://192.168.0.254/cgi-bin/luci

Do you connect to a WAX214? That would be interesting because luci is the name of the OpenWRT Web-Interface....

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/luci/start

I will test that. As for WAX6XX - there is an issue with the newest Firmware, so let's hope the maintainer finds free time (see other issue here)

[Meatballs1]

@martinhrpi yes WAX214 in use here.

I smushed together this monstrosity and ran it as a command line sensor as there's only one device I need to track when it was switching signal to the WAX rather than my main AP 😅

[rroller]

Can you try pulling in the latest 0.1.5 release to see if it works? I just released a fix for newer device firmware versions and I'm wondering if that will help for some of these other WAX models.

[rroller]

Oh probably not, I see the post from @Meatballs1 and yeah that looks completely different.

Error on wac104 after updating to 0.1.5

Port 443 is refused even on browsing, perhaps allow default port? When I browse it's just 10.0.0.200

any update on possibly looking at opening up for other ports?

[moritzifikation]

same here. sad.

[ml1nk]

I looked it up on my WAX214v2 with V1.0.2.3.

Login:

POST https://<ip>/sso_login.cgi?sysauth.htm timestamp=<timestamp>

anticsrf=<csrf>&submitType=sso_login&username=admin&password=<password>

{ "status": 0, "ts": 1703698981 }

Cookie: jwt_local

Data retrieval (wifi_cannel of wifi1):
POST https://<ip>/apply.cgi?/device_status.htm timestamp=<timestamp>

anticsrf=<csrf>&submitType=wifi_channel&wifi=1

[ { "channel": "5", "htmode": "HT40", "hwmode": "11axg" }, { "channel": "48\/80", "htmode": "HT80", "hwmode": "11axa" } ]

/socketCommunication ist 404

So it seems, at least this model needs separate post calls to handle data retrieval.

[robertboccia]

@rroller any update on being able to get wac104 to work, it seems the port to access that is not 443, so the integration doesn not work for wac104 on 443, but (i assume) it would work on port 80, but thats a guess based on me being able to hit the devices admin page

Any update with Netgear AP WAX214 integration?

Attaching some evidences of the error:

I don't have a device to test with. It takes a lot of back and forth debugging to get things to work. Not sure how I can do it unless I buy a device to test with.

I don't have a device to test with. It takes a lot of back and forth debugging to get things to work. Not sure how I can do it unless I buy a device to test with.

How can I help? Can I create a separate branch? and try to fix it?
