Configuring Wireless Connections

If you want to connect PCs in wireless mode via the Gigaset SE105 dsl/cable, you will

have to configure the router as an

Access point

. Use Wireless Settings for this

configuration. Here you can

activate the router's wireless module (see below),

change the wireless channel and the Service Set ID (

SSID

) of the router (see below)

and

set

Encryption

for wireless transmissions (see page 72).

Activating the wireless module

Wireless devices can register with your router only if its wireless module has been

activated.

Open the Wireless menu.

Activate the wireless module on Wireless Settings.

Click on APPLY.

Setting the Channel and SSID

Before wireless network components can communicate with each other, you have to

use a shared wireless channel and the same

SSID

(Service Set Identifier).

The Gigaset SE105 dsl/cable comes supplied with the SSID configured

asConnectionPoint. For security reasons, it is advisable to change this SSID and

deactivate the broadcast function (SSID visible).

In the Wireless menu, select Channel and SSID.
