No special characters have been used in your WiFi network name (SSID) – reset and rename it if necessary.
You nailed it!!!! My Nughthawk/Honeywell thermostat connections was lost several weeks ago. Honeywell couldn't help. Netgear also couldn't figure out why my "password(E02 code) was incorrect. Honeywell sent a new thermostat. Ince again Honeywell & Netgear couldn't figure out the issue. I tried in total 3 thermostats(2 new) & two routers(1 new) with the same result. Netgear finally suggested getting a different thermostat because of compatibility problems. I followed the guidance of the original poster & removed any characters that were not a letter or a number. Voilá it worked!!!! Thanks a bunch.
