recommend using the various security measures provided by the Wireless
extender to prevent intruders from accessing the network.
®
To set up the dLAN Wireless extender for operation as a WLAN access
point, open the adapter's integrated configuration interface in a window of
your web browser. If you know the IP address of the device, type it into the
address line of your browser. Otherwise, launch the dLAN Wireless
extender configuration application, or open the configuration from the
context menu of the appropriate entry in the devolo Informer.
Start in Overview Change Configuration WLAN mode. Ensure that
Access Point mode is enabled.
Do not confuse the input of the SSID and WEP key under the WLAN client
item with comparable entries in the WLAN settings (that apply to operation
as an access point).
Go to Overview Change Configuration WLAN settings. Ensure that
WLAN operation is activated. Select one of the available 13 channels for
your wireless network.
Contrary to popular belief, it is not a problem if multiple access points share
a channel. It can even be advantageous to choose a channel that is spaced
four numbers away from those of other access points within range. You
should therefore favor channels 1, 6 and 11.
