pyNetgear provides an easy to use Python API to control your Netgear router. It uses the SOAP-api on modern Netgear routers to communicate. It is built by reverse engineering the requests made by the [NETGEAR Genie app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dragonflow).

pyNetgear works with Python 2 and 3.

If you are connected to the network of the Netgear router, a host is optional.
If you are connected via a wired connection to the Netgear router, a password is optional.
The username defaults to admin.
The port defaults to 5000.
The ssl defaults to false.
You can specify url and it will take precedence on host/port/ssl parameters.
This allows the use of HTTPS, `https://orbilogin.com` for example.

It currently supports the following operations:

**login**<br>
Logs in to the router. Will return True or False to indicate success.

**get_attached_devices**<br>
Returns a list of named tuples describing the device signal, ip, name, mac, type, link_rate and allow_or_block.

**get_attached_devices_2**<br>
Returns a list of named tuples describing the device signal, ip, name, mac, type, link_rate, allow_or_block, device_type, device_model, ssid and conn_ap_mac.

This call is slower and probably heavier on the router load.

**get_traffic_meter**<br>
Return a dict containing the traffic meter information from the router (if enabled in the webinterface).

**allow_block_device**<br>
Allows user to block/unblock devices from accessing router by specifying mac_addr and new device_status (Block/Allow)
**Note:** In order to use this function, Remote Management _must_ be enabled in the router's admin settings.

Installation
------------

You can install PyNetgear from PyPi using `pip3 install pynetgear` (use `pip` if you're still using Python 2).

Usage
-----
To test run from the console:
`$ python -m pynetgear [<pass>] [<host>] [<user>] [<port>] [<ssl>]`

To use within your Python scripts:
```python
from pynetgear import Netgear

netgear = Netgear(password=mypassword)

for i in netgear.get_attached_devices():
    print i
```
