Configuration with Advanced Setup

WAN Configuration

If you have configured your router with Basic Setup, you have already configured your router's WAN connection. Use the WAN configuration option in Advanced Setup to check and change these settings.

You can use your Gigaset Router as a Router or Bridge. With the Bridge option, the WAN connection is configured as a link to other local networks.

The WAN menu offers the following entries:

◆Select Dynamic IP, if the router's WAN connection is assigned a Dynamic IP address by your Internet Service Provider. Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 56.

◆Select PPPoE, if you use PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) for your WAN connection (e. g. for T-DSL (T-Online)). Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 55.

◆Select PPTP , if you use the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) for your WAN connection. Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 57.

◆Select Static IP address, if the router's WAN connection is assigned a Static IP address by your Internet Service Provider. Configuration is similar to Basic Setup, as described on page 55.

◆Select DNS, if you want to use a particular DNS Server (see page 66).

◆Select Bridge, if you want to use your router as a bridge (see page 67).

Remember that configuration saves the access data for your WAN connection in the router. Before passing your router on to somebody else

i or having your dealer replace it, you should first restore the factory settings. Otherwise unauthorised persons may use your Internet access data at your expense. To reset the router, press the reset button on the back for at least 5 seconds.
