Configuring the Advanced Settings
ìSelect the On option for Wireless Network (default setting).
Devices can only log in wirelessly if the Gigaset SE366 WLAN's wireless module is activated.
You can now make the settings for your wireless network.
Transmission mode
The transmission mode defines which IEEE standard you use to transmit data in your network. IEEE 802.11g permits data transfer up to 54 Mbps, IEEE 802.11b up to 11 Mbps. In contrast, IEEE 802.11n (draft, see page 15) reaches a transmission rate of up to 300 Mbps.
ìFor the best possible data transfer rates in your network select IEEE 802.11b/g/n (mixed).
SSID
For the wireless network components to communicate with each other, they must have the same SSID (Service Set Identifier).
Note:
If you have already activated WPS (see page 68), the generated SSID is displayed on this screen. You should not change this SSID here manually. Otherwise, the registered clients will no longer have access to your wireless network.
On delivery, the Gigaset SE366 WLAN's default SSID is ConnectionPoint. If you are not using WPS, you should change this SSID for security reasons.
For security reasons you should deactivate SSID broadcast (see page 67).
To change the SSID manually, enter a character string of your choice. The SSID is case sensitive. It can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long.
Note:
The connection to the wireless network adapters will be interrupted until you enter the new SSID on them as well.
Channel
All the clients in your network use the set radio channel for wireless data transmission. You can choose between various channels, depending on your current location.
ìSelect the channel for transmitting the data.
