Anything you want to mention?

Unable to setup RT-AC88U router with the latest Merlin firmware 386.13_0:

Unknown error of type '<class 'asusrouter.error.AsusRouterConnectionError'>' during connection to `192.168.0.1`: ('Cannot connect to 192.168.0.1. Failed in `_send_request`', None)

Downgraded to 386.12_2 setup went ok but unable to initialize the device.

Cannot get clients for 192.168.0.1: ('Cannot connect to 192.168.0.1. Failed in `_send_request`', None)
Cannot get available network interfaces for 192.168.0.1: ('Cannot connect to 192.168.0.1. Failed in `_send_request`', None)

Removed the device, reinstalled the integration and rebooted everything, now the same as the initial error: unable to add integration.

No

Switched to Authentication Method to BOTH (HTTP + HTTPS). Now it works as expected when using SSL.

Hello, @ijavid,

can you please check whether you get any more info when trying to connect on HTTP with the newer integration version 0.32.0? The exception logging was improved, so it should say more now instead of just Cannot connect to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Hello. Please, reopen this issue (or create a new one) if you want to continue troubleshooting. If the integration works fine for you - that would be good
