Failed to Activate Captive Portal in Netgear Insight
I am setting a WiFi network with organization-wide SSID enabled.
When I try to enable the Captive Portal, an error message "Only alphanumeric characters and special characters !"#$%&'()*+,-.\/:;<=>?@[]^_`{|}~ are allowed", no matter what characters I input in the Redirect URL field.
I have tried to input "http://www.netgear.com" with the same error message display. May I enquire if I have set anything wrongly?
Many thanks,

This message looks more like an input check for the SSID, the wireless name than related to the captive portal URL. Any strange wireless name in place?
Many thanks for all the suggestions.
I have set another SSID for using the basic captive portal, and the same error message comes out.
No special characters were used in the SSID.I have also attached the screen shot in this post.
With further testing, the captive portal setup completes with no error message if no EULA is included. In fact, my original EULA does not include any special character, and within 1000 character limit. Seems I have to give up this at the moment.
