SSID broadcast (only Repeater and Access Point Operating Mode)
If this option is enabled (default setting), the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 will send the
SSID in all data transmissions, and your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108's SSID will be dis-
played on PCs that have a wireless network adapter. In this case eavesdroppers could use
the SSID to gain access to your network.
If you deactivate SSID broadcast, your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108's SSID will not be
displayed. This increases the protection against unauthorised access to your wireless
network. However, you must make a note of the SSID. You will need this to log on to
your PC.
ì
Select the Off option to deactivate SSID broadcast.
Transmission mode
This function is only shown in the window if the Super G transmission mode is deacti-
vated (see page 54).
The standard IEEE 802.11g permits data transfer up to 54 Mbit/s, IEEE 802.11b up to
11 Mbit/s. For the best possible data transfer rates in your network select IEEE 802.11g
only. To operate clients with older wireless network adapters in your network, select
IEEE 802.11b/g (mixed).
ì
Select the required transmission mode for your wireless network.
Sending power
ì
Select the required sending power for your device.
We recommend that you select a transmission power with a range to suit the spatial
environment of your local network. A much greater range makes it easier to eaves-
drop on your wireless data transmission.
