WAX210 Firmware 1.1.0.34 Bug – SSID Password Complexity Incorrectly Enforced
Hi everyone — I’m seeing what looks like a firmware regression on the WAX210 after updating to v1.1.0.34, and I want to report it in case others are affected. After updating, the AP now refuses to...
The bug is present in WAX210 firmware v1.1.0.31 (as well a v1.1.0.34).
Reverting to v1.1.0.25 removes the erroneous restrictions on wi-fi passphrases, but then we're missing out on all the bug-fixes which were delivered in firmwares v.1.1.0.28, v1.1.0.31 and v1.1.0.34.
v1.1.0.34 alone introduced at least 16 different bug-fixes.
Netgear have published source-code for v1.1.0.28 and v1.1.0.31, but no Release Notes that I can find.
Do any Netgear staff look at this forum or are we just customers talking amongst ourselves?

Once upon a time, senior community members (not Netgear reps) were involved in Beta testing of these Business and Business Essential APs.
Netgear does not care about the work we had done for free (resp. at the cost of a sample, and overseas shipping) anymore.
It's not the first time this (and very similar issues) appeared on earlier Business Essential APs. That's the price we pay for low-cost developers, non-existing QA, obviously carelessly implemented features, run by a awful OEM, and not controlled by Netgear.
The complete absence of Netgear engineering, QA, and customer support here says it all.
Ah, I see... (Thanks)
I won't expect to get any official replies, in that case!
So much for buying products from a "reputable" brand. NETGEAR used to be a safe choice, but it's clearly not any more.
