EX8000 SSID name's bug (... or feature?) :-/

just replaced an EX7000 with an EX8000

 

issue is... my network's SSID has a space (two words separated by a space) and after setting up the extender, keeping it close to the router (R7800), when I moved it to its final location (had to disconnect/reconnect power) it didn't keep the full SSID (second word was missing) and didn't connect anymore to the router

 

space in SSID has never been an issue, nor with the EX7000 nor previously with any Apple wi-fi router but looks it is with the EX8000 :rolleyes:

Although it's probably best not to use spaces in your SSIDs, I agree that the EX8000 should support that.

waiting now for underscores too becoming "illegal" in a future firmware update Smiley LOL
