    Appendix Restoring the Router's factory settings If you have made configuration settings on the router in error, with the result that you can no longer access the router's configuration interface, you can reset the router to its factory settings. You may need to do this, for example, if you have forgotten your password, if you have activated WEP encryption but have forgotten the key for configuring the network adapters, or if you activate the access control for wireless access to the local network but the access list is empty (see page 68).

    Glossary Access point An Access Point, such as the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable, is the centre of a wireless local network (WLAN). It handles the connection of the wireless linked network components and regulates the data traffic in the wireless network. The Access Point also serves as an interface to other networks, e.g.
  • Page 121 The Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable includes a DHCP Server and so it can automatically assign IP addresses for the PC's on its local network. For specific PC's you can specify that their IP addresses are never changed.
