Hello everyone!
My PPP password contains special characters such as "@ < !" but the problem seems to be that the w9860N is not special char friendly.
At the end of the Quick setting I can clearly see that the modem ignores all chars that are situated after the "<" sign in the PPP password.
As a result, the stored password is wrong and authentification always fails.
Is there a fix for this ?
or should I take the risk to put a third party firmware on the router (even if it is not clealy supported) ?
Thanks in advance

As I know, the special characters is not supported for PPP username and password. You may check whether your internet service provider can change the username and password on their side to be numbers and letters.
