Can u not change the PW on ur router to something a bit shorter?

You are looking at the Wireless Key, usually found on the bottom of your router below the SSID info?

Gotta be one of those older ORANGE Livebox routers. I came across one of them before and had to change the pass for shorter one as advised above. If its not possible to change it then use wireless plugs like the ones @ our sponsors shop here: https://www.goldwafers.co.uk/Home-Plug-Network/

my bro had a router where the password was extremely long and family mobile phones wouldnt take the long password (it may have been a linksys - not sure)

the answer was obvious, reduce the password for the login to something with less characters

in other words, all these devices have a limit, it may not always be the same limit but if you stick to say 16 characters or less (minimum 8 characters) then there should be no problems

Thank you all of you. will change the wifi key on the router as advice. It looks there is no otherway so far.
again thank you very much for you prompt reactions.
