Wireless password limitations
Is there a reason why the wireless password support for the base station is limited? I had to setup an entire new guest network just for the base station because it does not support a 64 character length.

Hi nicholasjelinek,
The limit for the Base Station is unfortunately only 31 characters. This is due to a firmware limitation.

Is the password lengthy of 31 changed with new Feb firmware, or will be in the future? I have a Apple Time Machine and looks like it maintains same password for 2.4 and 5.0. I suppose it's best practice to have the simply safe on the internal wi fi and not the guest wi fi.
I hope it changes.

Just tried to change the base station's WiFi password to one longer than 31 characters, and, of course, as noted here, I COULDN'T!
This is yet another reason why the SimpliSafe product fails to live up to the Simpli part of their name.
Sorry I ever bought into this mess. I do not recommend this product.

As others have noted, this is a ridiculous limitation of the base station. So stupid.
