Configuring wireless connections

If you want to connect PC's together in wireless mode with the Gigaset SE505 dsl/cable, then you must configure the router as the Access point of a wireless network (WLAN). You should also take steps to enhance the security of your wireless network. Use Wireless Settings for this configuration. Here you can

◆activate the router's wireless module and make a number of basic settings (see below),

◆set Encryption for wireless transmissions (see page 74), and

◆restrict access to the router's LAN (see page 75).

Basic Settings

Use this screen to configure your router as the Access point for a wireless LAN. You can enable or disable the wireless module and make other settings for wireless operation.

◆In the Wireless Settings menu, select Basic Settings.

◆Wireless network

Wireless devices cannot log in to your router unless its wireless module has been activated. You should therefore enable this option.
