configured the

WAN

connection (Internet access) of your router. Use the WAN

configuration option in Advanced Setup to check and change these settings.
You can also change the operating mode of the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable. The Gigaset

SE505 dsl/cable is supplied as

Router

but you can also use it as a

Bridge

.

To edit the router's WAN settings:

Select the WAN menu.
