Configuring the Advanced Settings

ìTo do this, select Off for the DHCP Server.

Please note:

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

uIf you use your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 in Access point Operating Mode, it also depends on your existing network whether or not you should use the integrated DHCP server of the Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108. If there is already a DHCP server, in your network, this one should be used.

If your network does not have a DHCP server yet, then you can use the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 to assign the IP addresses of the connected devices automatically.

ìIn this case, select On for the DHCP Server.

If you have activated the DHCP server integrated in your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108, you should also check the following settings and make any changes that are necessary.

ìIn the Lease time field, specify how long the PCs should retain their assigned IP addresses before they are changed.

ìThe First issued IP address and Last issued IP address values define the range of IP addresses that your Gigaset WLAN Repeater 108 should use to automatically assign IP addresses to PCs.

Please note:

The address block you enter must not overlap with those of other DHCP servers

in your network or the static IP addresses of devices connected to your network. This could otherwise cause IP addresses to conflict. This can impair or block the accessibility of some or all of the devices in your network.

ìIn the Default gateway, Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server fields, enter the data required for connecting to the Internet. As a rule, you can enter the IP address of the router in your network for Default gateway and Preferred DNS server, which sets up the connection to the Internet for all the PCs in the network. Entries in the Alternate DNS server field are generally optional. For additional infor- mation, please turn to the appropriate chapter in the operating instructions for your router.

ìIn the Domain name field, you can specify a domain name in the local network.
