Orbi Access Control Firmware 1.3.0.12
I just updated my Orbi Router and Satellite to the latest firmware, 1.3.0.12. I'm using Access Control to limit access to the network. I have a Tivo Mini hooked up to the ethernet port of the satellite, and it was connected and allowed to network access before the firmware update. Now when I enter access control, the Tivo Mini shows as "blocked", and even if I select the device and click "allow", it stays blocked. That's the first issue. The second issue is that it's not actually blocked (nor do I want it to be). It's able to connect to the network and access the internet just fine. I tried to block and unblock it and it didn't work. Not sure what the issue could be except a firmware bug.Bug Report: EX2700 fails to validate login email correctly
The JS that handles validation of the email address you enter on the login page for the EX2700|N300 is testing the email address string against the password regex. Due to the password length cap of 32 chars (imposed by the password regex), this means no email address over 32 chars can be used to sign in; instead an error message will just report 'Invalid username'. As the setup page doesn't suffer from the same bug, users can enter and save an email address which exceeds the password length cap yet will be unable to sign-in with it. The bug can be found on line 87 of the `login.js` script at this relative URI: js/login.js It currently is: $('#loginBt').click(function() { $('.errorMsg').remove(); if ( !$.REG_PASSWORD.test($('#userId').val()) ) { $.addErrMsgAfter('userId', invalid_username); } ... It should be: $('#loginBt').click(function() { $('.errorMsg').remove(); if ( !$.REG_EMAIL.test($('#userId').val()) ) { $.addErrMsgAfter('userId', invalid_username); } ... This will validate the email string against the regex you provide on line 21 of `js/init.js` for matching email addresses rather than the one on line 22 for validating passwords with a max length of 32 chars. P.S. While you're at it, you should change the HTML placeholder for the email field to 'Email' rather than 'Username' for the sake of clarity.
