40 Network configuration
devolo dLAN pro 500 Wireless+
Thirteen channels are available at the standard
2.4 GHz frequency.
If you select the higher 5GHz frequency range, it
is important to ensure that all of your connected
devices also support this frequency band. From
channel 52 onward you go into the radar
range. When accessing the device for the
first time, a radar detection phase starts
automatically, during which the
dLAN pro 500 Wireless+ cannot be accessed.
In both cases, we recommend keeping the default set-
ting Auto since the dLAN pro 500 Wireless+ selects
the channel regularly and independently in this setting.
In other words, if the last connected station logs out, a
search for a suitable channel is carried out immediate-
ly. If no stations are connected, the device automatical-
ly selects a channel every 15 minutes.
Pay attention to the various LED
colours of the Wi-Fi LED. For more
information, refer to chapter 3.3.1
Control lamps.
Keep the following in mind if you
would like to use doubled channel
width (utilising 40 MHz channels):
The potential transfer rate is 300
Mbps instead of 150 Mbps when us-
ing wireless channels with doubled
channel width, but increased inter-
ference can occur due to neighbour-
ing access points.
