pynetgear: Failed to Login > Error setting up platform netgear (More Details Enclosed)

Platform Old Laptop running fresh install of Linux Mint, running Home Assistant in Docker. Installed HA using these directions, with a few minor detours

1. Needing to update python3, since Linux Mint natively comes with 3.5.3. Followed this guide to install python 3.6 along side the typical python3 installation of mint as to not disturb any of linux mint’s other functionality.
2. Needing to pip install docker.io, the default docker library for linux mint, instead of the docker mentioned in the gist
3. Running each command from the gist individually instead of running the script as a whole.

Home Assistant Version 0.79.3

Router Model Netgear C3000

Problem Simply put, cannot get Netgear component to work as device_tracker. Fails to login. I’ve confirmed the credentials are correct. No matter what I try I cannot seem to get the component configured.

Setup Variations I’ve tried in Configuration.yaml

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.0.1
    port: 80
    username: admin
    password: REDACTED

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    host: 192.168.0.1
    username: admin
    password: REDACTED

device_tracker:
  - platform: netgear
    password: REDACTED

Edit I should also note that the laptop running the HA instance is connected directly to the router via Ethernet cable. Edit 2 I notice my router isn’t included on the Supported Routers List, but I can access & manage the router using the Netgear Genie android app and my device is listed in the acceptable devices in the nodejs version of this program that this was ported over from.
