Introduction

Use for accessing the Internet with a PC

The Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 permits wireless Internet access for a PC. Here it is operated in Access point Operating Mode, connected directly to a DSL or cable modem. However, simultaneous Internet access for several PCs is not possible. This requires a wireless router (e.g. a Gigaset SE551WLAN dsl/cable).

To access the Internet, a DSL or cable modem is required. You also need an Internet Service Provider for Internet access. The Internet access is configured using the software from your Internet Service Provider. The Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 does not require any further configuration.

Security functions

You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/WPA2- PSK,WPA/WPA2, MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless LAN or make data illegible to unauthorised parties. The security settings available to you depend on the Operating Mode you select and the components used in your local network.
