R8000 will NOT register to Readycloud
Hello,
So I am trying to register my R8000 router (frimware version V1.0.3.4_1.1.2) through the admin page but I get the error message:
"Registration failed. Please check your user name and password and try again."
I know I am putting in the username and password right seeing as to how I can logon to the ReadyCloud website.
Here are some troubleshoot steps that I have tried (all through the admin page):
1) Factory reset
2) Reinstall firmware using Netgear support
3) Change password of ReadyCloud to not include special characters
4) Make another ReadyCloud account
5) Wait a week and try again
Nothing seems to be working. I would appreciate any adivse!

Hi, the message I got was
Registration failed. Please check your user name and password and try again.
By coincident I found a comment in a forum that ReadyCloud do not accept certain characters in the MyNETGEAR password. I removed a "&" character and just used letters and digits in my password.
After that it worked!
So Netgear should definitely corrct the bugs in their software. There is a lot of people out there struggling with this issue.
Thanks for your replay

The username should be the my.netgear.com account email address. Make sure you can login to readycloud.netgear.com with the same account.
