Opening EDIT wireless network settings and saving always results in wifi passcode being corrupted or removed

alan weir

When the settings are opened, regardless if any changes are made, corrupts the wifi password and results in all wireless devices not authenticating. The passcode must be entered every time a the settings opened since the password becomes corrupted even if no changes are made. WHY? 

This has happened in every version of UTM, even 9.601-5

 I am using an AP15 access point. The question is, is the passcode being changed as a security measure or some type of "self-destruct" feature in case someone gains access to the UTM and logs in, or is this some bug in the access point.

  • Seen similar with other vendor (not sophos until now).

    do you use some special characters within wifi passcode?

    Possible the passcode string is split/corrupted while loading and saved incorrectly.

    try a simple / short passcode.

    Yes, it's a VERY long alphanumeric password with many special characters to keep it secure. A simple password is not safe to use since even WPA2 can be cracked. I have used a shorter passcode before and have noticed that an unauthorized device had been authenticating with my network, so I changed it and since then I use complex passwords.
