Wow this is frustrating. Updated from firmware 1.05 to 1.07ww. I do a factory reset, and it takes me through the set-up wizard. I change the password. I modify all my setting as desired, all seems fine. However, once I exit, I cannot log back in with the password I've just created: "Invalid password, please try again." Factory reset, go through the entire process again, same result. I've done this several times. This is not a very fun way to spend a Friday night. This is with Firefox 49.02 with all extensions and add-ons disabled. Any suggestions?

OK, after seeing a post by square_eyes with a password problem with this firmware version, I step-by-step built a password. I started with a simple, 8-alpha characters only password and could log-in. I then added numbers and additional characters two at a time, logging out and in each change to ensure I could still log in. I've now built up a suitably strong password. Hope this helps someone else if they encounter the problem.
FWIW, I also contacted D-link support and got a reply within 12 hours; it eventually went to a 'please call this number,' which I didn't follow through on.

So, Did you find some characters that did not work?

Welcome! (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48135.0)
What is the length of your router PW and what special characters are you using?
You can also upgrade to v1.08WW as well.
