Network name

your wireless network. You can see this name
when logging onto the Wi-Fi, allowing you to
identify the correct Wi-Fi network.
Channels
There are 13 channels available in the 2.4 GHz
frequency band. The channels recommended for
Europe are channels 1, 6 and 11. This ensures the
frequency bands of the channels do not overlap
and any connection problems are avoided.
devolo Mesh WiFi 2
There are 19 channels available in the 5 GHz
frequency band.
The channel selection
Automatic.
The devolo Mesh WiFi 2
automatically executes the channel selection in
this setting. 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 selects a
channel every 15 minutes.
It is worth noting that connected devices also have
to support the increased frequency band of 5 GHz.
From channel 52 onward you go into the radar
range. When accessing the device for the first time,
a radar detection phase (DFS) starts automatically,
during which time the devolo Mesh WiFi 2 cannot
be accessed via Wi-Fi. This can take up to 10
minutes.
In the Channel field, you can manually select a 2.4
GHz and a 5 GHz channel. If you are not sure which
wireless channels are used by nearby devices,
select the Automatic option.
