Wireless Network
If PCs are communicating wirelessly via the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108, you should
also take steps to enhance the security of your wireless network.
ì In the Advanced Settings menu, select Wireless Network.
The Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 wireless network is preset as active. Your device can
only communicate with your wireless network if this default setting is left as it is. If you
do not want to use this function, you can deactivate the Wireless Network option.
In this menu you can
u set the channel and SSID (see page 54),
u set the transmission mode and transmission power (see page 55),
u set the Encryption for wireless traffic (see page 57),
In Repeater or Access point Operating Mode you can also
u limit access to the wireless network (see page 63),
In Repeater Operating Mode you can also
u configure the repeater function (see page 65).
Please note:
u We recommend using only one DHCP server in the network. If you are already
using a DHCP server in your network, you should switch off the DCHP server on
your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108.
u You may be able to obtain information about the currently assigned IP address
from the logbook of the DHCP server from which your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108
obtains its IP address. To do this, you may need the MAC address of your
Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108, which you can find on the label on the underside
of the device. Then enter the IP address shown in the logbook in the browser's
address line to launch the configuration program. If you still cannot open
the configuration program using this method, you will have to reset your
Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 to the factory settings by using the reset button
(see page 13). Your device will now have the old IP address 192.168.2.254
again and the DHCP server is activated.
u Make sure that you adjust the IP configuration of your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108
as well as that of the connected devices (PC, games console etc.) to the configu-
ration of the other participants in your network or of your communication partner,
for example a valid IP address (that differs from the addresses already assigned)
and the appropriate subnet mask.
