4.4.3Guest network
If you have friends or acquaintances visiting and
you want to provide them with Internet access but
without giving away the password for your Wi-Fi,
you can set up a separate guest account in addition
to the main Internet connection. The guest ac-
count can have its own network name, time limit
and Wi-Fi password. This way your visitors can
browse the Internet without having access to your
local network.
To set up a guest account, activate the Enable
option.

You can also enable or disable the guest ac-
count in the devolo Home Network App
using the Guest account button.

net connection. The WPA/WPA2/WPA3 (Wi-Fi
Protected Access) security standard is available for
this.
