WAC505 Zero Day SSID password excludes spaces

Good find - thank you for reporting! Interesting would be the firmware version which was installed when the issue happend.

Of course you can report such issues here in the community. Netgear reps like RaghuHR will take care of it. Suspect this applies to all WAC5xx and WAX6xx Zero Day Web UIs.

A pure statistical problem 8-). How many WAC505 owners try to add a space char - valid as per IEEE Std. 802.11i-2004, Annex H.4.1 2. "Each character in the pass-phrase must have an encoding in the range of 32 to 126 (decimal), inclusive" -  in the Day Zero UI, and then again after the 90 days of complimentary technical support. I guess very few ... and most have silently worked around as you did.

When encountering the initial "Zero Day" configuration where you enter things such as desired SSID and password, I have found that spaces typed in as part of the password are ignored.  Using Chrome browser, choosing local web management, WPA2, etc.

The frustrating part is that there is no warning of limitation at the time you are typing spaces (or clicking to proceed) in the Zero Day.  So you have to realize the problem on your own, then you learn to log in and add the spaces.

Absolutley - it's not acceptable input strings are parsed, truncated, concatenated, or changed in any other way without notifying the user.

A side problem: 1st level support must allow bug reports regardless of the support status. This might be difficult to adjust for them...
