In the Frequency band field, you select the frequency
band mode you are using (see Chapter WiFi network mo-
de).
Network name
Define the name of the guest network in the Network
name field.
Key
You should also encrypt the guest account to prevent anyo-
ne in signal range from intruding into your network and,
for example, sharing your Internet connection. The WPA/
WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access) security standard is availa-
ble 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.
QR code
Using the QR code, you can conveniently set up the connec-
tion to the guest network for mobile devices. Scanning the
QR code automatically transfers the credentials for the
guest network to the respective mobile device.

4.4.4 Mesh

Mesh
All devolo Magic series WiFi adapters offer mesh WiFi,
which entails completely new and improved WiFi functi-
ons:
Fast roaming ensures that all WiFi clients, such as
smartphones and tablets, are always connected to the
strongest WiFi hotspot. This is especially important
when people move from room to room with their
mobile devices.
In addition, the new air-time fairness feature proces-
ses the requests of high-speed WiFi clients at higher
priority. This prevents older devices, which may
require more time for a download, from creating WiFi
bottlenecks.
Integrated band steering ensures that all WiFi stati-
ons automatically switch to the optimum frequency
band (2.4 and 5 GHz frequency band) in order to use
the best WiFi connection at all times.
In order to turn the mesh functions on, activate the Enable
option.
The mesh function of the devolo Magic 1 WiFi is switched
on by default.
