Well, that's yet more puzzling.

The model, as shown on the front of the unit is BEFSR41. The firmware
version, as reported on the "Status" page is  "1.37, Jan 03 2001". So I
have the same model with earlier firmware.

You might re-check that "http://:admin@192.168.1.1/" still works from a
browser.  Possibly the password got changed.

Then, I'd suggest you examine (or post here) the output that my sample
code returned.  Possibly they moved away from "basic" authentication in
the later firmware.
