Can't turn on/off Guest Wifi on Deco

[bchevreau]

Describe the bug Unable to turn on or off the Guest Wifi on Deco x50 router. I have a feeling it is because in the newer version of the Deco App, both 2.4G and 5G are turning on simultaneously (only one toggle for both bands) but I am unsure how to verify as the error message isn't very explicit.

Note: the reporting works fine: if I turn it off via the app, I can see it turn off in the configuration toggles in Home Assistant. But I cannot initiate the action: toggling on/off throws errors.

Logs Failed to perform the action switch/turn_off.

I have an XE75 Pro (v1 and v2) and it seems that it doesn't work as well. I can see status but not disable nor enable the guest wifi

@AlexandrErohin Anything I can help with for that issue? I'm happy to provide logs or go thru some debugging with you to find a way to fix those if ever. The main problem I would assume seems to be that the command sends separate commands for 2.4G and 5G whereas the DECO x50 / X60 and similar have a single switch for both of those.

@bchevreau Hi. As I dont have Deco router - could you use this client https://github.com/AlexandrErohin/TP-Link-Archer-C6U) and play with wifi switch? You may test like this

from tplinkrouterc6u import TPLinkDecoClient
from logging import Logger
from json import dumps

client = TPLinkDecoClient('192.168.0.1', 'yourPassword', logger=Logger('test'))
client.authorize()
print(self.request('admin/wireless?form=wlan', dumps({'operation': 'write', 'params': {'band2_4': {'host': {'enable': True}}}})))

I tried the script, with the following output (I had to install it in debian using pipx with ---install-deps) I also tried another code in the site and the problem it seems that is not authorizing.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/seba/.local/pipx/venvs/./tplink2.py", line 9, in print(self.request('admin/wireless?form=wlan', dumps({'operation': 'write', 'params': {'band2_4': {'host': {'enable': True}}}}))) ^^^^ NameError: name 'self' is not defined

@bchevreau Try this

from tplinkrouterc6u import TPLinkDecoClient
from logging import Logger
from json import dumps

client = TPLinkDecoClient('192.168.0.1', 'yourPassword', logger=Logger('test'))
client.authorize()
print(client.request('admin/wireless?form=wlan', dumps({'operation': 'write', 'params': {'band2_4': {'host': {'enable': True}}}})))

@AlexandrErohin tried it... after some seconds, I receive the following

After a new run I'm getting some connection timeout, I assume It is because the script does not logoff?. I'll try later
