First Steps

Creating a LAN connection

You can connect PCs to your router in wireless or wired mode and so set up a local network (LAN).

Wireless

A wireless connection is established via a wireless network adapter installed in your PC. This could be for example a Gigaset USB Adapter 11, a Gigaset PC Card 11 or an 802.11b compatible wireless network adapter.

You define a Wireless network by assigning all the devices an identical SSID. Assign the network adapters the router's SSID. The factory setting for the router's SSID is ConnectionPoint.

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 router to the mains power supply (see page 16).

Arrange the Gigaset Router's two antennas in an optimum position for i reception from the network adapters. Coverage is more effective if you

position one antenna vertically and the other horizontally.
