If you would like to set a time limit for the guest ac-

guest account after ... and enter the desired time
limit.
Note that the guest account de-
pends on the Wi-Fi settings of the
dLAN pro 500 Wireless+ and can
only be enabled just as long.
Security (encryption)
You should also encrypt the guest account to prevent
anyone in signal range from intruding into your home
network and sharing your Internet connection. WPA/
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) Private Mode secu-
rity standards are available for this.
WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) allows individ-
ual keys consisting of letters and numbers and the
displayed special characters with a length of up to
63 characters. You can simply enter this using the key-
board, without having to convert it into hexadecimal
format first. Under Mode, you can limit access to the
dLAN pro 500 Wireless+ to the method you have se-
lected.
