18 Initial use
devolo dLAN 550+ WiFi
3.3 Connecting the
dLAN 550+ WiFi
The device may be used only indoors.
Before the networking procedure, write down
the WiFi key of the dLAN 550+ WiFi. You can
find this unique key on the rear side of the
housing.
Enter the WiFi key in your laptop, tablet or
smartphone later as a network security key to
establish an encrypted connection with the WiFi
network dLAN 550+ WiFi.
In the following sections we describe how to connect
the dLAN 550+ WiFi and integrate it into the network.
We clarify the exact procedures based on potential net-
work scenarios:
3.3.1 Starter Kit and addition – Setting
up a new dLAN network
햲 Connect the dLAN 550 duo+ to your Internet
access device's network jack (e.g. WiFi router).
햳 Plug the dLAN 550+ WiFi into a wall socket. As
soon as the indicator light of the encryption but-
ton with the home icon is flashing red at regular
intervals (after approx. 50 sec.), the adapter is
ready to operate but not yet integrated into the
dLAN network.
To disconnect devolo devices from the mains supply,
pull the device itself or its mains plug from the power
outlet.
The electrical socket and all connec-
ted network devices should be
easily accessible so that you can
pull the mains plug quickly if needed.
Connecting the dLAN 550 duo+ and
dLAN 550+ WiFi to a dLAN network
Before you can use the adapter in a dLAN network, first
you have to connect it as a network. This is accom-
plished by using a shared dLAN password. This forms
a delimited dLAN network. Shared use of the dLAN
password serves both as access control to the dLAN
network as well as the encryption, and thereby the in-
terception protection, of the transmitted data.
