[asuswrt] Cannot connect to router

[thechrisso]

The problem

The asuswrt integration was no longer setting up after installing the new HAcore update. It gave the following error
"Error setting up entry 192.168.1.1 for asuswrt" (full error message included below)

The device I'm trying to connect to is my ASUS ZenWiFi AX (XT8) router. The router is working fine itself.

I then removed the integration and set it up fresh. But I couldn't set it up, it gave the same sort of error:

This seems to happen using HTTPS for protocol (using ssh I don't encounter this error)

Getting the same problem after latest core update.

[loboolsson]

Same issue for me. I also tried the HACS ASUS integration, and same issue there so it seems like there is some shared code that has broken, not something specific to ASUS.
Rolling back to 2024.12.1 to verify that it works there

Edit: Rolling back to 2024.12.1 Seemingly fixes the issue. I had to disable and re-enable the integration and it shows up correctly, and I get the correct status from my devices. However, I still see errors in my log

"
Logger: homeassistant.components.websocket_api.commands
Source: components/websocket_api/commands.py:670
integration: Home Assistant WebSocket API (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 16:15:29 (1 occurrence)
Last logged: 16:15:29

Unable to get manifest for integration asusrouter: Integration 'asusrouter' not found.
"

This MIGHT be related to me testing out the HACS integration, but it might also be realated to whatever broke in 2025.12.2

Getting the same issue with Asus RT-AX88U running AsusWRT Merlin. Downgraded to 2025.12.1, and the issue is gone.

[Robinek70]

the same issue with RT-BE58U running original AsusWrt

@Vaskivskyi could you help us with that? sorry for ping you in that way but it doesn't seem correctly tagged

[Vaskivskyi]

Hey, guys. Sorry, I don't usually check all the issues, only those tagged as asuswrt. The issue is related to #158291

In short, unfortunately, 2025.12.2 got a dependency bump with an issue for a specific kind of data format from the routers. The issue is already fixed in #158492 on the dev branch and should be available in 2025.12.3, which will be available soon

The backend automated testing has been improved now, so this should not happen in the future. Additionally, data handling procedures were improved to avoid such cases of the whole library block happening

I am sorry for the trouble it caused you

[ftorredeflot]

thanks for the quick response, and quick fix :)

For me this error just occurred after updating to 2025.12.3. See Vaskivskyi/ha-asusrouter#1101 (comment)

@MEKadan, please try to wait more than 3 minutes between reporting the same bug to different independent repositories.

Your issue is related to #158822 and not related to what is discussed here. That's why log reports are helpful when reporting bugs. You are using either SSH or Telnet connection. Not the HTTP(S) discussed here
