How much radiation does the WLAN-Box 2 emit?
The WLAN-Box 2 runs on low power (max. 1 watt) and therefore only emits very small amounts of radiation. It also complies with all relevant limits and guidelines. To minimise radiation, the WLAN-Box 2 can also be switched off manually. In addition, the WLAN operating time settings from the Internet-Box are transferred automatically to the connected WLAN-Boxes.
Is the guest WLAN range also extended by the WLAN-Box 2?
Yes, the guest WLAN works in the Internet-Box WLAN and in the WLAN-Box 2 reception range.
How can I prevent a Wi-Fi 6 device switching to Wi-Fi 5 with the WLAN-Box 2?
You have a number of options to prevent a Wi-Fi 6-enabled device from switching to Wi-Fi 5 within the range of an Internet-Box 2, plus or standard:
- Use an Ethernet cable (WLAN access point) to connect the WLAN-Box 2 to the Internet-Box.
- In the Web-Portal(opens in new tab) switch off WLAN synchronisation under “Synchronise WLAN status between the Internet-Box and WLAN-Box”.
- Switch off the WLAN on the Internet-Box.
My WLAN-Box 2 has a flashing red light. What does that mean?
If the LED flashes red, it means that the WLAN-Box 2 cannot connect to the Internet-Box. Either the WLAN-Box is not paired or it is too far away from the Internet-Box. More information can be found in the instructions(opens in new tab) in the sections ‘What is pairing?’ and ‘WLAN-Box setup’.
