System Requirements

u

You will need the following to operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN as a repeater or 

access point: 
– A PC with a Gigaset PC Card, a Gigaset USB Adapter or a different 802.11a, 

802.11b, 802.11g or 802.11n compatible wireless network adapter and/or 

– A PC with an Ethernet connection.
– A Web browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher or Mozilla Firefox 

1.0 or higher for configuring the device.

u

To operate your Gigaset SE365 WLAN as an Ethernet adapter you need a PC, a games 

console or a set-top box with an Ethernet connection.

Optimising the Transmission Quality

The transmission quality and transmission range are influenced by a number of differ-

ent factors in your WLAN. Specific environmental conditions (e.g. concrete walls or 

metal wires in the walls, electrical appliances such as microwave oven, number of con-

nection devices) can impair the transmission rate. You need the highest possible and 

most stable transmission rate in order to ensure adequate quality for transmitting data 

- especially video data. The current transmission quality is displayed on the user inter-

face of your WLAN adapter. 

You can use the following settings to optimise the transmission quality:

u

Position WLAN devices closer together, if possible,

u

Align the antennae optimally,

u

Select a different channel,

u

Set the data rate to a fixed value,

u

Choose a different frequency range.

You can operate the Gigaset SE365 WLAN in the 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz frequency range. The 

range is better in the 2.4 GHz frequency range. The 5 GHz frequency range, on the other 

hand, is less sensitive to disruptions. 

For experienced users 
The default settings for the Gigaset SE365 WLAN are:

– IP address: 192.168.2.254

 

– Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 
– SSID: ConnectionPoint
– Default password: admin
