I have an Axiom Air from the original Kickstarter campaign. It's running System Version: V2.13.2 - Toasted Cherry Released: 2020-12-29. It hasn't been used for a while and I'm setting it up again.

My problem is I like to think I'm funnier, smarter, punnier than I am, so I named my WiFi network "Æthernet". In the AxiomAir's Wireless Network settings, it shows up as "\xC3\x86thernet". I can add a password, but it won't connect. Every restart results in the fallback hotspot network starting.

I'm pretty loathe to change my network name now as I'd have to then change the network for every. single. device. already on the network. I could also create a guest network with an ASCII-compliant name, but then I can't control or stream to the speaker without changing networks on the device I'm sending music from (usually AirPlay).

Is there a way to get this to work? Or something on the roadmap for the firmware to support non-ASCII characters in WiFi network names?
