MR6550 bugs/inadequacies

I recently got an MR6550 and a T-Mobile Business Internet account, and I've noticed the following issues:

  • WPA doesn't accept all possible formats of passphrase, which per the spec are NVT characters (0x20-0x7e ASCII), and 8-63 characters long.  I tried to clone a network that I use at home and it was rejected because it contained spaces.  Spaces (0x20) are completely allowable per the spec.  Fix you implementation.
  • When you get into the settings for bands the first time, it doesn't show you any selection, even though the default is 5GHz.  This should be visibly indicated.
  • I don't want two different SSIDs for the different radio bands.  Does anyone, really?  Don't append "_2.4GHz" to the SSID.  The SSID I entered is the one I want, not some mangling of it.

Thanks.
