Hi,
is there any known maximum password length on the wireless stick?
When I try to use my standard wireless password (63 length) the stick never connects to my wireless.
When I do use my guest wireless (which heavily restricted, 43 length) the connect does work.
Seems like a bug to me?

Thanks

i'm not sure I would categorise it as a bug, from what I can see in their documents they have never specified it's length - my password is 20 characters which I thought was reasonably long but above that you'll have to test the limits.

Well, from my point of view it does make sense to stick to the WPA2 standard, which does allow a password length of 63 characters. Everything else is just a poor implementation of a worldwide standard.
At least FoxESS replied to me and they suggested passwords <=20 characters, which seems to me, they have never have tought of someone using more than that,.
