To do this, select Off for the DHCP Server.

If your network does not have a DHCP server yet, then you can use the DHCP server inte-
grated in your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 to assign the IP addresses of the connected
devices automatically.

In this case, select On for the DHCP Server.

If you have activated the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108,
you should also check the following settings and make any changes that are necessary.

In the Lease time field, specify how long the PCs should retain their assigned
IP addresses before they are changed.

The First issued IP address and Last issued IP address values define the range of
IP addresses that your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 should use to automatically
assign IP addresses to PCs.

In the Default gateway, Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields,
enter the data required for connecting to the Internet. As a rule, you can enter the
IP address of the router in your network for Default gateway and Preferred DNS
server, which sets up the connection to the Internet for all the PCs in the network.
Entries in the Alternate DNS server field are generally optional. For additional infor-
mation, please turn to the appropriate chapter in the operating instructions for your
router.

In the Domain name field, you can specify a domain name in the local network.

Please note:

If you use your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 in Repeater Operating Mode and opt
for automatic address assignment for the connected PCs, make sure that the DHCP
server of your access point has been activated. The devices connected via the
Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 will then use it automatically.

If you use your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 in Access point Operating Mode, it
also depends on your existing network whether or not you should use the
integrated DHCP server of the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108. If there is already a
DHCP server, in your network, this one should be used.

Please note:
The address block you enter must not overlap with those of other DHCP servers
in your network or the static IP addresses of devices connected to your network. This
could otherwise cause IP addresses to conflict. This can impair or block the accessibil-
ity of some or all of the devices in your network.
