'+' is not a valid character in parameters so it is escaped to %2B by
urlencode:
In [10]: import urllib
In [11]: params =
urllib.urlencode({'WRegion':"USA",'ssid':"wifi",'ap':"ap",'ssid_enable':"ssid_enable",'wire_mode':"b+only",
'w_channel':6,'lan_ac':"everyone",'int_ac':"everyone"})
In [12]: params
Out[12]:
'ssid=wifi&ssid_enable=ssid_enable&ap=ap&int_ac=everyone&WRegion=USA&w_channel=6&lan_ac=everyone&wire_mode=b%2Bonly'

Where did this come from? This is not the output of ethereal...

Interestingly, %25 is the escaped representation of '%'. So I wonder if
your parameters are being url-encoded twice?
Can you show a little more of your code, and the actual string captured
from ethereal?
