Here, the connected devolo GigaGate Base is shown
with the MAC address and the date of the last login.
The MAC address provides a unique identifier
for the hardware interface of every individual
network device (e.g. the WiFi adapter of a com-
puter or Ethernet port of a printer). It consists of
six two-digit hexadecimal numbers, each sepa-
rated by a colon (e.g. 00:0B:3B:37:9D:C4).

Changing the network name (SSID)
쑗 Bridge network name
The Bridge network name determines the name of
your wireless network. You can see this name when
logging onto the WiFi, allowing you to identify the cor-
rect WiFi network.
Here, you can customise the WiFi network name (SSID)
manually. This network name is important for connect-
ing to other WiFi-compatible devices later on.
Hiding the network name (SSID)
쑗 Hide SSID yes/no
If you enable the Hide SSID option, your wireless net-
work remains hidden. In this case, potential network
users must know the exact SSID and enter it manually
to be able to set up a connection.
Some WiFi adapters have difficulty connecting
to such hidden wireless networks. If the connec-
tion with a hidden name poses problems, first
try setting up the connection with a visible net-
work name and then hiding the network name
afterwards.
