When using WPS please note the following:

Your Gigaset SE366 WLAN is equipped with WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use it to set the security of your wireless network easily with one click only (see page 13).

An SSID and a pre-shared key are created automatically by pressing the Registration button on the device’s back panel (see page 20), thus allowing synchronisation of the WPS-enabled clients.

You can inspect the defined settings in the Security Setup Wizard (see page 37 and page 39) or in the Advanced Settings (see page 70).

Changing the password

In the first step of the assistant the password for the user interface can be changed. On delivery, the configuration of your Gigaset SE366 WLAN is protected with the admin password. To prevent unauthorised changes to the configuration, you should set your own password and change this password from time to time.
