WAX210 Firmware 1.1.0.34 Bug – SSID Password Complexity Incorrectly Enforced
Hi everyone — I’m seeing what looks like a firmware regression on the WAX210 after updating to v1.1.0.34, and I want to report it in case others are affected. After updating, the AP now refuses to save any configuration changes (even unrelated ones like just renaming the Access Point). The UI throws this error: SSID1: SSID passphrase length must be between 8 and 63 characters, and contain at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one number, and one special symbol. This happens even when the SSID password is not edited at all. The AP loads the existing (valid) WPA2/WPA3 passphrase and flags it as invalid due to a complexity requirement that didn’t exist before. This appears to be the AP Login Password complexity policy being mistakenly applied to SSID passphrases, which contradicts the official manual. SSID passwords for WPA2/WPA3 should only require 8–63 characters. Reproduction Steps Update WAX210 to firmware 1.1.0.34 Log into the web interface Make any change (example: AP Name only) Click Apply The SSID password complexity error appears, even though SSID settings were untouched Impact. The AP cannot accept any configuration changes unless the SSID password is replaced with a much more complex passphrase. This forces a complete re-key of all connected devices. Expected Behavior Per the WAX210 User Manual, SSID passphrases should be valid with: 8 to 63 characters No requirements for uppercase/lowercase/digits/symbols Those rules worked correctly in previous firmware versions. Current Workaround Rolling back to firmware 1.1.0.25 or 1.1.0.20 fully resolves the issue. Request Can Netgear please confirm whether this is a regression in 1.1.0.34 and escalate to the firmware engineering team? This issue effectively prevents configuration of the device. I can provide: Screenshots of the error dialog A configuration backup A short video showing the issue Exact hardware revision and serial if needed Thanks in advance.IOS Apple Devices Dropping
I have WAX625, WAX610, & 605. For a number of months now, my IOS devices continue to drop their WIFI and then takes 2-5min to reconnect. I originally had Load Balance and Remove Sticky Clients configured. I have put everything back. Firmware on the AP is 10.8.13.2 I am a technical guy and I feel I have tried all the other things that have been mentioned in posts that sort of sound like mine. I think this is only happening on my 5/6ghz SSID. I Have a SSID for 2.4 and one for 5/6. Any suggestions? Anyone else seeing this? Im so frustrated that I'm looking at a different vendor for the house. I am managing these in Insight.Wireless Bridge
I have a problem that the new fibre install can not get to the network so I am looking to have the fibre installed with the router and have a wireless bridge to link to the network switch. I use WAX610 for the WAPs (wifi6) so am looking for the same technology to connect this new fibre into the networkWAX630E Daily Disconnection Issues

I have searched for information about the transmission power of the Access Point WAX620 equipment, we are purchasing a number of devices to implement a WiFi network project. In Peru they ask us for this information to request the approval of the equipment and to enter the country. I would be grateful if you could provide me with this information so that I can use those equipment for which we have the best references in terms of performance and capacity.
