Cannot set certain FQDN on WAX630

I am trying to set FQDN on WAX630, but it doesn't allow FQDN like xxx.yyy.group. It is a legit domain name. I also tried xxx.yyy.net, and it works. The error I saw is: Invalid FQDN, please check...

Yes. xxx.yyy.group resolves to the AP's IP.

Just for my curiosity - also from the DNS IPs configured on the AP?

Strange the error message "Invalid FQDN, please check the syntax / ensure the domain name is registered for IP address" does state something different.

RaghuHR can you please check if the WAXxxx might not allow all valid TLDs, and then return a wrong error message?

Yes. The DNS used by the AP has the same domain name to the AP IP entry.

  Hi page-faults
  
  We have made the restrictions to allow the following standards
  
  Original Top Level Domains - (.com, .net, .org, .edu, .int, .gov etc)
  
  Infrastructural Top Level Domains - (.arpa)
  
  Country code Top Level Domains - (.in, .us, .uk etc)
  
  We will allow .cancerresearch in our next release. Stay tuned. I guess you are not using Insight to manage WAX630 and it is in standalone mode only?
  
  Thanks,

    Yes. The AP is in standalone mode. In my case, the TLD is .group. It sounds like it is not supported. Is there a plan to add support for it?
    
    Thanks.
