Guest account off/on
If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and you
want to provide them with Internet access but without
giving away the password for your WiFi, you can set up
a separate guest account in addition to the main Inter-
net connection. The guest account can have its own
network name, time limit and WiFi password. This way
your visitors can surf the Internet without having ac-
cess to your local network.
To set up a guest account, enable the Guest account
option.
You can also enable or disable the guest ac-
count in the my devolo App using the Guest
account button.
If you would like to restrict the guest account to Inter-
net use, enable the Only allow Internet use option
as well.
Automatic shutoff
If you would like to set a time limit for the guest ac-
count, enable the option Automatically shut off
guest account after ... and enter the desired time li-
mit.
Note that the guest account depends
on the adapter and can only be active
as long as the adapter is active.
Network name
Define the name of the guest network in the Network
name field.
Encryption
You should also encrypt the guest account to prevent
anyone in signal range from intruding into your net-
work and, for example, sharing your Internet connecti-
on. The WPA/WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) security
standard is available for this.
This method allows for individualised keys consisting of
letters and numbers with a length of up to 63 cha-
racters. You can simply enter them via the keyboard.
To do so, enter a corresponding number of characters
into the Key field.
