Insufficient passphrase length. It should be a minimum of 8 characters long.
I'm trying to simply disable SSID separation on my Wireless 1, and it give that error even though the password is 9 characters.
I've tried on 3 different browsers and 2 different devices.
It has repeating characters, so it isn't 8 unique characters, but really?

I tried setting a random 16 char password temporarily, but that didn't work either. I'm guessing it is trying to check the password length of the 5g password form on the page, which gets removed when you disable separation, so it throws the too short error.
Workaround:
Disable password while disabling split SSID,Re-enable password after reboot.

A little bit confused how this SSID separation ever was enabled for Wireless 1 (and as well for the Guest Network) - not an intended feature, making it an illegal combination:
- They added it an a firmware update not too long ago.
