MAC address
If you had Internet access through the same Internet provider before connecting the 
Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable, then it is possible that the MAC address of one of your 
PCs has been used for registration when the connection was being set up. You must 
then 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:
ì
Connect a PC to the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable and open the configuration envi-
ronment.
ì
In the Advanced Settings  Internet menu, select MAC Address.
ì
Select which MAC address is to apply to the Internet connection:
– Use default device MAC address: You can leave this default setting if the 
MAC address of the Gigaset SE551 WLAN dsl/cable is used for connecting to the 
Internet.
– Use MAC address of this PC: Select this option if the MAC address of the cur-
rently connected PC has previously been registered for connecting to the Internet 
or if you have re-registered the MAC address of the PC on which you are currently 
working.
– Use custom MAC address: Select this option if you have asked your Internet pro-
vider to register a new MAC address and this is not the MAC address of the PC on 
which you are currently carrying out the configuration.
ì
Click on OK to apply the settings.
