WAX210 Management Password Issue?
What a miserable setup experience I've had with this device. I went through the same process and finally used Password!1 and it finally took it. Hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
Are you (like Cetus ) also an Apple user? The crux is in the At least one special character, such as the following characters: @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) ! password "requirements".
What easily looks like a usual special character can translate under the hood to something else once submitted -and- stored. Good example might be the - "a "Hyphen" - which in some regions/languages/countries defaults to an "En Dash" or an "Em Dash" — but looks extremely similar to most users:
| Mark | Symbol | Approximate Width | Main Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hyphen | - | Shortest | Joins words (e.g., well-being) or divides words at line breaks. |
| En Dash | – | Width of a capital N | Marks ranges of numbers, dates, or time (e.g., 1939–1945, pages 12–18). |
| Em Dash | — | Width of a capital M | Indicates a strong pause, interruption, or parenthetical thought (e.g., She knew the answer—she just wouldn't say it). |
Just one example, out of many....
