Legacy Open Mesh: Unable to save SSID #2 WPA key as blank

Question

Why can't I save the SSID #2 WPA key as blank?

Answer

If you're configuring a new network and setting the WPA key blank for SSID #2 (for an open network), you'll get an error "Must be 8 characters or more" when saving Network settings.

This error should only occur if your nodes haven't checked-in at least once. After they've checked-in, you'll be able to set as blank without error.
