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?
You should make contact with NG support to let them know about this.
OK. Thanks!
I was really hoping that Netgear might be monitoring (and interacting with) their own forum and already be aware of the issue...
It's been 6 months since the bug was first reported here - and it's really not difficult bug to find. I'd have expected it to have been picked up in their regression testing before v1.1.0.31 (and v1.1.0.34) were ever released.
We don't know what goes on beind the scenes at NG. They only know.
Always best to reach out to support.
Let us know what they respond with.
