38 Setting up a WLAN network 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. devolo ® dLAN ® Wireless extender
39 Setting up a WLAN network Assign a unique name (SSID) to your WLAN to identify it to your clients. Optionally, you can also hide the SSID. A hidden SSID is an additional security factor, as only those WLAN clients that know the exact name of the network can access it. A number of WLAN adapters have difficulties connecting to such invisible wireless networks. If you have problems connecting to a network with a hidden SSID, start by establishing a connection with the SSID visible, then hide the SSID. Under Overview � Change Configuration � Network settings you can choose how your dLAN ® Wireless extender will receive its IP address. By default, the adapter is configured as a DHCP client, i.e. it obtains its IP address automatically from a DHCP server in the network. Alternatively, you can disable this option and specify an exact IP address and netmask. devolo ® dLAN ® Wireless extender
