5.2.0 - 01-09-2026 SOAP port autodiscovery no longer depends on currentsetting.htm. A router that serves no reachable currentsetting.htm - not on http:80 and not over TLS on a SOAP port - is now found by probing its SOAP endpoints directly: login() does this as a last resort when no port is set, and router discovery scans the LAN gateway addresses this way after both currentsetting.htm passes come up empty. Such a result carries only host, port and tls, since every other currentSetting property exists only inside currentsetting.htm.
5.1.1 - 31-08-2026 Fix login with currentsetting.htm unreachable.
5.1.0 - 31-08-2026 Support for HTTPS-only firmware (recent Orbi models). getCurrentSetting() now falls back to currentsetting.htm over TLS on the SOAP ports (443, 5043, 5555) when plain http:80 cannot be reached, and takes a new { httpsFallback } option. login() now applies the discovered TLS setting, unless TLS was set explicitly. Router discovery retries the LAN gateway addresses over HTTPS when the http network scan finds nothing.
5.0.0 - 13-08-2026 Full code rewrite. Requires Node >=22. Use native fetch. Replaced xml-js with fast-xml-parser. Removed smart-request-balancer dependency. Fixed getWANDNSLookUpStatus, GetConnectionTypeInfoResponse, GetDNSLookUpStatusResponse and getCurrentBandwidthByMAC. Added getAllSatellites, getWPASecurityKeys, get5GWPASecurityKeys, get5G1WPASecurityKeys and getAllMACAddresses. Added automated unit test suite. NetgearRouter now extends EventEmitter and emits a 'log' event with a configurable logLevel, for richer diagnostics without writing to the console directly.
