devolo dLAN pro 500 Wireless+
쎲 The state-of-the-art WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Pro-
tected Access) Private Mode methods allow
individualised keys consisting of letter and num-
bers and the displayed special characters
with a length of up to 63 characters. You can
simply enter them via the keyboard. Under Mode,
you can limit access of clients to the
dLAN pro 500 Wireless+ to the method you have
selected. In addition, the dLAN pro 500 Wireless+
also supports the WPA/WPA2 Enterprise Mode
encryption key. As a central authentication server,
the RADIUS server assumes the user administra-
tion (for multiple access points; see 4.5.3
RADIUS server).
Enterprise Mode does not support
any WPS.
Save all modified settings before leaving this configu-
ration area again.
The factory defaults have the
dLAN pro 500 Wireless+
configured as an access point and
the WPA/WPA2 Private Mode Wi-Fi
encryption is set with the security
ID as the default Wi-Fi key. You will
find the 16-character security ID on
the label on the back of the
housing.
When activating the encryption, make sure that the
Wi-Fi settings (SSID, encryption mode and encryption
key) of the access point always correspond to the set-
tings of the clients, as otherwise you will be (uninten-
tionally) excluding devices from your network.
You should always encrypt the connections in your Wi-
Fi. Otherwise anyone within range could penetrate into
your home network and, for example, share your Inter-
net connection. If possible, always select the better
WPA/WPA2 encryption method. Only use WEP if one of
your wireless terminal devices does not operate with a
better standard.
