2Introduction
2.1 What is WLAN?
WiFi refers to a WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network),
the use of radio technology to network computers and
other devices. While it is possible to wirelessly connect
computers in pairs ("peer-to-peer", p2p), a central access point is usually required to set up a network of
multiple devices. This turns a WiFi router into an access
point as well as a modem for Internet access and into
a router for acting as a go-between within the
network.
devolo GigaGate
Page 10
Introduction 9
The wireless network established by an access point
has only limited range. The reception range of the access point, also known as a "radio cell", is impeded by
the walls of a building. In some cases, stable connections are often only possible between WiFi devices
within a single room.
Since it is not possible to rely on hardware such as network cables (in a LAN) or household wiring (in a dLAN)
to control access to a WiFi network, wireless networking naturally presents special security challenges. WiFi
networks therefore use a number of security measures,
such as a concealed network name (SSID - Service Set
Identifier), data encryption and access control via the
MAC addresses of the devices (clients).
2.1.1 Wi-Fi or WLAN?
Wi-Fi is an invented brand name of the Wi-Fi Alliance,
a consortium that certifies devices with wireless interfaces. In many countries, Wi-Fi is also used synonymously with WLAN, which if taken strictly, is incorrect,
because Wi-Fi designates the wireless standard and
WLAN the wireless network.
2.1.2 Differences in WiFi frequency bands
The devolo GigaGate supports WiFi frequencies of 2.4
GHz and 5 GHz for an optimal WiFi transmission rate.
Both frequency bands have their pros and cons and
showcase their strengths best when combined together.
2.4 GHz frequency band
The 2.4 GHz frequency band is used by many everyday
wireless devices, e.g. by cordless phones, microwaves,
Bluetooth devices and network devices that rely on the
802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n WiFi standards. The
high level of spread is also a decisive disadvantage because there are only a few channels free of overlap in
the 2.4 GHz frequency band that can be used in parallel and without interference for WiFi. In addition, the
large number of devices present often causes interference that makes using the Internet very slow over WiFi.
In theory, the maximum transfer rate a product can attain when using the 802.11n WiFi standard is up to
300 Mbps. In a home network, however, everyday factors that contribute to attenuation such as furniture,
vases or concrete walls result in a lower transfer rates.
5 GHz frequency band
The 5 GHz frequency band is used by significantly fewer devices than the 2.4 GHz band, which means it is
not as overloaded and experiences less interference. In
theory, users have up to 19 channels available when
using 802.11ac. The 802.11ac WiFi standard achieves
devolo GigaGate
Page 11
10 Introduction
Fig. 2: devolo GigaGate Base and Satellite
a transfer rate of up to 1300 Mbps thanks to the larger
channel bandwidth and improved data transmission
technology.
2.2 The devolo GigaGate

쎲 One LED that indicates the devolo GigaGate Base
operation
쎲 One LED that indicates the status of the connec-
tion between the Base and Satellite

tings).
쎲 One gigabit network jack (1000 Mbps)
쎲 Four internal WiFi antennas that use 4x4 Quan-
tenna technology (point-to-point connection),
쎲 Fold-down feet
쎲
Four holes (on each side) for wall mounting
쎲
One power socket for the included mains adapter.
The devolo GigaGate Satellite is equipped with:
쎲 One LED that indicates the devolo GigaGate Sat-
ellite operation
쎲 an LED that displays the status of the connection
between the Satellite and Base
쎲 One WiFi button with LED status display which
enables WiFi devices to connect using WPS
쎲 One gigabit network jack (1000 Mbps)
쎲 Four Fast Ethernet ports (100 Mbps)
쎲 Four internal WiFi antennas that rely on 4x4

Satellite.
At least one Cat 5e cable (1000
Mbps) is necessary (contained in the
scope of delivery) for the optimal
speed of both gigabit ports (1x Base,
1x Satellite). The four Fast Ethernet
ports require at least one Cat 5 cable
to achieve the full transmission rate
of 100 Mbps.
2.2.3 Reset
The Base and Satellite Reset button (the
small opening between the power connection
and the gigabit network jack) has two different
functions:
