Basic Setup Wizard

Please note:

uIf you choose the Obtained automatically option for your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108, you may no longer be able to reach your configuration program as usual. The IP address you need to call up the program via your browser is assigned dynamically and can therefore change at any time. Therefore we advise you to assign a static IP address to the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108.

The Obtained automatically option should only be used in exceptional circum- stances.

uYou may be able to obtain information about the currently assigned IP address from the logbook of the DHCP server from which your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 obtains its IP address. To do this, you may need the MAC address of your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108, which you can find on the label on the underside of the device. Then enter the IP address shown in the logbook in the browser's address line to launch the configuration program. If you still cannot open the configuration program using this method, you will have to reset your

Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 to the factory settings by using the reset button (see page 11). Your device will now have the old IP address 192.168.2.254 again and the DHCP server is activated.

If you have assigned a static IP address for your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108, you can decide whether to use the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108's integrated DHCP server.

Depending on the configuration of your network, it may be better to deactivate the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108's integrated DHCP server.

ìTo do this, select the Off option for the DHCP server. However, this is only necessary, if

–another DHCP server is already being used in your network.

–you are using more than one Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 in the same network. In this case, please switch off the DHCP server on all other repeaters. Make sure you change the IP addresses of the other Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 (follow the example on page 28).

–the IP addresses in your network are static, i.e. you have manually assigned a static IP address to every network component.

Note:

If you opt for automatic address assignment for the connected PCs, make sure that the DHCP server of your existing access point has been activated. The devices connected via the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 will then use it automatically.
