The Gigaset Router user interface includes several helpful functions for administering
your router. You can

◆ save and restore the router configuration data and, if required, reset the factory
settings (see page 87),
◆ upgrade the router firmware (see page 88),
◆ re-boot the router (see page 89),
◆ view information about the router configuration and status (see page 90),
◆ check, save and clear the security log (see page 91).
Opening or closing an Internet connection manually
You can open and close an Internet connection manually. If for example you deactivated
Auto-reconnect when you configured the WAN interface, Internet applications (such as
your browser or email application) will not automatically open a connection when they
are launched. In this case, you will have to open the connection manually when it is
required and also close it again when you are finished with it.
Opening and closing an Internet connection manually:
◆ Click on Status in the navigation bar.
Below the status information for the INTERNET you will see two buttons.
For PPPoE or PPTP connections:
Disconnect
Cuts an open connection to the Internet.
Connect Opens a connection to the Internet.
For connections with a dynamic router IP address:
Release
Cuts an open connection to the Internet and releases the IP
address.
Renew Opens a connection to the Internet and forces the DHCP server to
assign a new IP address.
