System information lets you enter user-defined names in
the Device name (hostname) and Device location fields.
Both pieces of information are particularly helpful if mul-
tiple devolo Magic adapters are to be used and identified

Under Change access password, a login password can be
set for accessing the web interface.
By default,
devolo Magic 1 WiFi is not protected by a password. We
recommend assigning a password when the installation of
the devolo Magic 1 WiFi is complete to protect it against

the web interface is protected against unauthorised
access with your custom password!
The Powerline standby settings let you enable PowerSa-
