WAC510 will not accept space character in passphrase
WAC510, Firmware V1.5.3.7 My WAC510 will not accept a space character in the Passphrase. This cannot be proper behavior right?? I'm configuring via the web-based GUI. I go to Configuration ...
Sorry to hear about your long call on this issue.
We have got this request from other customers(not through this community forum), So we would be supporting spaces in passphrase in future firmware releases.
I will update here once the firmware with this enhancement is available. Thank you!

Hi Cosmo Lee,
Thanks for reaching Netgear Community.
On firmware version v1.5.3.7, Spaces are not allowed in passphrase.
We have taken note of it and we are already working on it, You can expect this in our future firmware releases(tentatively in couple of weeks).

Do you actually work for Netgear? I spent an hour on the phone with a Netgear technician on this issue, and he didn't find any information on this problem!
Have you guys notated the bug anywhere so people could find out about it?
