access point, which is also known as a "radio cell",is impeded by building walls. In some cases, stableconnections are often only possible betweenWLAN devices within a single room.

As it is not possible to rely on hardware such as net-work cables (in a LAN) or household wiring (in adLAN) to control access to a WLAN, wireless net-working naturally presents special security challen-ges. WLANs therefore use a number of securitymeasures, such as a concealed network name, dataencryption and access control via the MAC addres-ses of the network adapters.

2.2.1Wi-Fi or WLAN?Wi-Fi is an invented brand name of the Wi-Fi Al-liance, a consortium that certifies devices with wi-reless interfaces. In many countries, Wi-Fi is alsoused synonymously with WLAN, which if takenstrictly, is incorrect, because Wi-Fi designates thewireless standard and WLAN the wireless network.

ChannelsThere are 13 channels available in the 2.4 GHzfrequency band. The channels recommended forEurope are channels 1, 6 and 11. This ensures thefrequency bands of the channels do not overlapand any connection problems are avoided.

There are 19 channels available in the 5 GHzfrequency band.

The channel selection default setting is Automatic.The dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac regularly andautomatically executes the channel selection inthis setting. In other words, if the last connectedstation logs out, a search for a suitable channel iscarried out immediately. If no stations areconnected, the device automatically selects achannel every 15 minutes.

It is worth noting that connected devices also haveto support the increased frequency band of 5 GHz.From channel 52 onward you go into the radarrange. When accessing the device for the first time,a radar detection phase (DFS) starts automatically,during which time the dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac cannotbe accessed via WiFi. This can take up to 10minutes.

5.3 Bandwidth optimizationTo significantly improve the transmission capacityof the network, we recommend that you complywith the following "connection rules":

b Plug the dLAN 1200+ WiFi ac directly into awall socket. Avoid using power strips. This mayimpair the transmission of the PLC signals.

b If there are several sockets in the wall directlynext to each other, they behave like a powerstrip. Individual sockets are optimal.
