Connecting; Connection To A Wired Network (Lan), Pc, Games Console Or Modem; Wireless Connection Of A Pc - Siemens Gigaset WLAN Operating Instructions Manual

First Steps

Connecting

Set up the Gigaset WLAN Repeater at the required location.

Connection to a wired network (LAN), PC, games console or modem

ì
Plug one end of the Ethernet cable in
the socket marked LAN on the Gigaset
WLAN Repeater.
ì
Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable
into the device to which you wish to
connect the Gigaset WLAN Repeater.
Depending on the particular applica-
tion, this could be a router, a PC, a
games console or a DSL/cable modem.
Please remember:
Bear in mind that, depending on the use,
(see page 5) you will have to make some settings via the browser-based configuration
program of your Gigaset WLAN Repeater. Therefore we recommend that you first con-
nect it to a PC.

Wireless connection of a PC

A wireless connection is made using a wireless network adapter that must be installed
in your PC.
A wireless network is defined by assigning
an identical SSID to all the devices. The
default SSID of the Gigaset WLAN Repeater
is Repeater.
ì
Therefore, set Repeater as SSID on the
wireless network adapter in your PC,
and deactivate encryption if necessary.
The operating instructions for the
device will tell you how to do this.
If the correct SSID has been entered in your
PC's wireless network adapter, the wireless
link will be established automatically once
you connect your Gigaset WLAN Repeater
to the mains power supply.
Please remember:
Before your PC can communicate via the Gigaset WLAN Repeater, you must run network
configuration on the PC (see page 16).
