So... how come I can no longer have a $ in my network key starting with firmware 2.1.1.16?

Let's go ahead and add this to the list of bugs which necessitates me updating every wireless device on my network to a new password. Nice one Netgear!

The bug has been there for a few firmwares, seems like it is getting progressively worse though;

I have not updated and now I will not be knowing it is not fixed, the good news is they are aware and "looking into it".
