Inputting special characters for WiFi connection

Posted by: BJC2015 on 24 January 2015

I thought I'd switch to a wireless connection to see if the Spotify app on my iPhone could see my Uniti2 (with a wired connection it certainly doesn't work) but whilst entering the wireless passphrase I was shocked to see that there are a grand total of seven special characters I can input on the Uniti2 and the one I need is not there. How can it be that a unit costing upwards of three thousand pounds cannot even support a basic (128 characters) ASCII character set? Ichecked the manual and I don't think I've missed anything. Currently, it looks like only 69 characters are supported. I think my car radio manages more than that.

I really don't feel like changing my router password and the wifi password on at least 6 other devices because of this, so it'll be back to wired and no Spotify.

Hi, also have Uniti2, have you managed to input with remote up/down button that allows to scroll almost all acii char set?

I have now, thanks, it worked :-). With the wireless connection, the Spotify app was able to find the Uniti2 though the connection was permanently interrupted, so I restarted the unit with a wired connection and it seems to work ok now. Thanks for the hint!
