devolo dLAN 550+ WiFi
other security measures are set up, such as a WiFi filter
(see Chapter 4.3.5 WLAN filters), third parties could
gain access to your network at any time and, for ex-
ample, use your Internet connection without permissi-
on. Each instance of access is visible to you in the WiFi
monitor.
Save all modified settings before leaving this configu-
ration area again by pressing OK to confirm them.
Keep in mind that after saving this
setting, you will be disconnected
from any existing wireless connecti-
on to the dLAN 550+ WiFi. In this ca-
se, configure the device via the
network cable (Ethernet) or dLAN.
When activating the encryption, also
make sure that the WiFi settings (net-
work name and key) of the access
point always match the settings on
the clients, as otherwise you will be
(unintentionally) excluding devices
from your network.
4.3.2 WLAN time control
WiFi time control setting off/on
To be able to use the WLAN time control, enable the
time control option.
You can define multiple time periods during which your
wireless network is to be enabled for each weekday.
Then the time control automatically switches the wire-
less network on or off.
If you enable the Automatic disconnection option,
the wireless network is not switched off until the last
station has logged off.
Manually switching the access point
on or off (i.e. using a button) always
overrides the automatic time control.
The configured time control then
takes effect automatically during the
next defined time period.
