Bug in SSID when using emoji

huramentzefix · August 15, 2025, 10:52am

I opened the web interface and created SSID “:)”
It doesn’t appear as a smiley.
Then I opened the web interface on my phone and used 3 emojis as SSID.
The SSID is being displayed correctly.

But when I go into the webinterface, the ESSID in general setup still shows “:)”

It is not possible to connect to this network. To the one above in the screenshot I can connect just fine.

Any ideas? or is this a bug?

can someone please reproduce with Mode: Master | SSID:
Encryption: WPA3 SAE (CCMP) how to report?

I can connect OK to the SSID tiguere3 which is configured the same as the one with the emojis.

Thanks for your help

What was the configuration with the broken SSID?

huramentzefix · August 15, 2025, 6:17pm

sorry you lost me.

what is it that you are asking?

lleachii · August 15, 2025, 6:46pm

What's the other SSID?

You only posted 1 configuration.

To be clear, is this the broken SSID?

Did you delete 1 and 2, or are you omitting then?

Android 15 nicely connects to 3x broccoli SSID.

the problem with windows could be WPA3?

windows 11 doesn’t connect to either SSID

android 12 connects to wifinet2 but not wifinet3

brada4 · August 15, 2025, 7:08pm

mushroom SSID is not connected to any network, just select “lan” for network and you are good to go.

they “connect” to wifi network, but give up when not getting any viable ip address from dhcp.

Guess same applies to people who don't know how to configure their devices correctly...
