Westell router resetting when selecting "Wireless Settings&

Hello,

I was just upgraded to a Westell 9100EM router and am having an odd issue. Out of the box (and after a hard reset), I can configure the wireless settings to use WPA, change the SSID, etc without a problem. However, I can only do this once. After I've saved everything and returned to the main menu, any subsequent clicks on the wireless settings option results in the router immediately resetting itself. The only way to fix this is a hard reset. Has anybody else had this happen? I'm hoping it's a firmware problem, but I can't seem to find a replacement for 1.03.00.08 .

Any ideas?

Are you using any special characters in the WPA key/password? The Westell can't handle special characters with WPA.

Ah, that's the problem then...I have many special characters in my key. Thanks for helping clear this up!
