This method allows for individualised keys
consisting of letters and numbers with a length
of up to 63 characters. You can simply enter
them via the keyboard.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2): Default
setting. The encryption standard is based on
secure AES encryption (Advanced Encryption
Standard). A 128-bit key is used for securing
the WiFi connection between devolo GigaGate
Satellite and the WiFi-compatible device.
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access): With
this setting, the devolo GigaGate Satellite
supports both displayed encryption standards.
Using this is recommended if both newer and
older devices without WPA2 support are
connected to the WiFi network.
None: Encryption not set. Without encryption,
data is transmitted from the client computers
to the devolo GigaGate Satellite in your
wireless network unprotected and there is
also no password required to connect.
You should always encrypt the
connections in your WiFi network.
Otherwise anyone within range could
penetrate into your network.
Save all modified settings before leaving this
configuration area again by pressing OK to
confirm them.
WPA2 is the WiFi encryption set by
default for devolo GigaGate. The
default WiFi key is the WiFi key for the devolo
GigaGate Satellite. You will find the key on
the label on the underside of the housing.
