What special characters does a Skybox allow to connect to a WiFi network?

Worztron

Hi.

I want to change the default WiFi password that came with my modem-router. I know the computers and phones in the house can input many different special characters. I'm wondering though about my father's Skybox - is that limited to a small amount of special characters? This will dictate what complicated password I can generate.

Thanks.

Just use WPS on router and Sky box, no need to input password!

Use WPS, connect Sky box, then disable Wps on router again. Fairly simple.

We've since gotten a Sky Q Box - maybe that accepts a bigger range of special characters (I don't know because a tech guy set it up when I was at work). I guess WPS is always an option as GIMP mentioned earlier.

Cheers.
