Guest network password--nothing works
Hi Netgear! I'm trying to enable my guest network. Nothing I enter into the password field is accepted as a password and I get the message telling me about the "8 to 63 ASCII or 64 hex digits." The latter I assume is WRONG, as it is asking for 64-bit number _represented_ in base 16 (which makes it 64 bits / 4 bits-per-hex digit = 16 hex digits). Aaaaaaanyway, so, nothing I enter is accepted: "a" -- No. "a123b123" -- No. "t1234567" -- No. "Test1234" -- No, and I've attached a picture of this. 64-bit number in base 16 --No. So, my question is, what is one supposed to put in the field for a guest network password? See the attached picture--I get this "error message" for any string I put into the password field.

Hi, Lately my iphone's have been asking for the password if I ask for the 2.5 ghz ssid on my Nighthawk. I go to a PC and look at the password on admin and the password that fails is what I have been putting in. I have a vacation home with a Linksys router that has the same ssid name as the 2.5 ghz on my nighthawk and have been there recently. Could that be what is confusing the Nighthawk?Solved6.8KViews0likes23CommentsSSID password not recognised
Today I tried upgrading the firmware to v 1.0.6.28. My first upgrade since purchasing 6 months ago. (Netgear Nighthawk R7000) Now my main WiFi SSID NETGEAR33 fails to work in all devices (laptops, iPads, iPhones) stating that the password is not recongnised. I have not changed the password and the Router setup confirms I am using the correct password. The other SSID's work fine (NETGEAR33-5G, and guest SSIDs). I tried downgrading the firmware to V 1.0.5.48 but it made no difference. Since many computers need the basic SSID NETGEAR33 I am in trouble! Any ideas? ThanksSolved3.6KViews0likes2Comments
