Router

A router directs data packets from one local area network (LAN) to another via the fastest route. A router makes it possible to connect networks that have different network technologies. For example, it can link a local network with Ethernet or WLAN technology to the Internet.

See also GatewayServer

A Server makes a service available to other network components (Clients). The term "server" is often used to refer to a computer or PC. However it can also mean an application that provides a particular service such as DNS or a Web service.

SSID

Service Set Identifier

The SSID is used to identify the stations in a wireless network (WLAN). All wireless network components with the same SSID form a common network. The SSID can be assigned by the network operator.

Static IP address

A static IP address is assigned to a network component manually during network con- figuration. Unlike a Dynamic IP address, a static (fixed) IP address never changes.

SubnetA subnet divides a network into smaller units.Subnet mask

The subnet mask determines how parts of the IP addresses of a network represent the network number and how many the computer number.

The subnet mask administered by the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 is always 255.255.255.0. That means the first three parts of the IP address form the network number and the final part is used for assigning computer numbers. The first three parts of the IP address of all network components are in this case always the same.

Super G

Super G is an extension of IEEE 802.11g. Channel bundling doubles the maximum transmission rate to 108 Mbps. Unlike other technologies (e.g. 125 Mbps technology), which work by compressing data, here the transmission rate is actually doubled. With data that is already compressed (ZIP, RAR, MP3, MPEG etc.), data compression will not make any substantial improvements.

TCPTransmission Control Protocol

The TCP Protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol family. TCP handles data transport between communication partners (applications). TCP is a session-based transmission protocol, i.e. it sets up, monitors and terminates a connection for transporting data.
