Configuring the Advanced Settings
DNS server
DNS is a decentralised service that assigns PC names or Internet addresses (Domain names) and IP addresses to one another. A DNS server has to administer this information for each server or each LAN with an Internet connection.
Normally your Internet provider supplies you with a DNS server, which makes this assignment when the connection to the Internet is set up. If necessary, you can define the DNS server to be used for Internet connections manually.
ìIn the Advanced Settings – Internet – Internet Connection menu, select the entry DNS Servers.
ìActivate the Use custom DNS servers function by selecting On.
ìEnter the IP addresses for your Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server.
ìClick OK to apply the settings.
MAC address
If you had Internet access through the same Internet provider before connecting the Gigaset SE366 WLAN, then it is possible that the MAC address of one of your PCs was used for registration when access was configured. In this case, you must either replace the current MAC address with the MAC address registered with the Internet provider or ask your Internet provider to register a new MAC address for your account.
Carry out the following steps:
ìConnect a PC to the Gigaset SE366 WLAN and open the configuration environment.
ìIn the Advanced Settings – Internet – Internet Connection menu, select the entry MAC address.
