Ampersand?

My WIFI password has an ampersand.  I see no way to enter that on the Venu3.  Is there a way?

    Hello!

    In the Garmin Connect App you can go to More > System > Connectivity > Wifi > My Networks and add your network in the app. It will allow the use of a full keyboard

    Yes, I can do that, but is there no way to input an ampersand on the device itself? 

    The problem I had was when I tried to sync the Venu using the app (which had been working fine), I got an error that said I needed to connect to wifi first. I couldn't access the Venu on the app to do anything, so I tried to connect to wifi from the Venu but couldn't input the wifi password because it had an ampersand and there wasn't one on the Venu. The problem was resolved by unpairing the Venu from my phone and then going through that process again via the app, which included setting up the wifi via the app.

    You are correct, currently there is not a way to input an ampersand on the device itself. Many applications/devices consider the ampersand to be an "illegal" character so it is not often made available for input for usernames and passwords, as well as file names.

    That might be a valid argument if the passwords were created on the Venu, but they aren't.  They already exist and work on the other platform/application. If the passwords were being created on the Venu, then perhaps & could be omitted.  But since that's not the case, & should be available on the Venu. My home WIFI password has an & and I have over 20 devices that work with it, including Garmin Edge units.  Venu3 is the only one where I can't input an & in the password.
