Some Wi-Fi adapters have difficulty connecting
to such hidden wireless networks. If the con-
nection to a hidden SSID poses problems, first
try to set up the connection with a visible SSID
and only then try to hide it.
For operation as an access point, a (transmission)
channel must be specified. There are 13 channels
available. We recommend keeping the default setting
Auto, since in this setting the dLAN 500 WiFi selects
the channel regularly and independently. In other
words, if the last connected station logs out, a search
for a suitable channel is carried out immediately. If no
stations are connected, the device automatically se-
lects a channel every 15 minutes.
