Simple authentication and data retrieval. Replace host, username, password with your router credentials.

import os from tplinkrouterc6u import TplinkRouter router = TplinkRouter( host=os.environ.get('ROUTER_HOST', '192.168.0.1'), username=os.environ.get('ROUTER_USERNAME', 'admin'), password=os.environ.get('ROUTER_PASSWORD', ''), ) print(router.get_firmware()) print(router.get_status())

Debug

Known issues

breakingIn version 5.x, the library switched from async to sync by default. If you were using async, update your code or use the async submodule.

fix

Use synchronous methods directly or import from tplinkrouterc6u.async if async is required.

affects: 4.x -> 5.x

deprecatedThe parameter `timeout` in Router constructor is deprecated in favor of `timeout_seconds`.

fix

Replace `timeout=10` with `timeout_seconds=10`.

affects: >=5.0.0

gotchaThe library only supports routers with firmware exposing the native TP-Link API (typically old firmware). Newer firmware may not work.

fix

Verify router compatibility before use. Check the GitHub README for supported models.

affects: all

gotchaPasswords with special characters like `%` can break URL parsing if not URL-encoded.

fix

Use `requests.utils.quote(password, safe='')` to encode password before passing.

affects: all

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tplinkrouterc6u'

Package not installed or imported incorrectly.

fix

Run `pip install tplinkrouterc6u` and use correct import: `from tplinkrouterc6u import TplinkRouter`.

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='192.168.0.1', port=80): Max retries exceeded

Router not reachable at given host/port or blocked by firewall.

fix

Verify router IP and port (default 80). Ensure you are on the same network and router accepts HTTP connections.

tplinkrouterc6u.exceptions.AuthorizationException: 401

Incorrect username or password.

fix

Double-check credentials. Some routers require admin/admin as default.

ValueError: Invalid firmware version

Router firmware is not compatible with the library.

fix

Update router firmware or use the async client: `from tplinkrouterc6u.async import TplinkRouter`.
