Operating modes of the Gigaset WLAN Repeater

Repeater
When used as a repeater, the Gigaset WLAN Repeater can increase the coverage of your wire-
less network. Set it up at the limit of the range of your wireless network. The Gigaset WLAN
Repeater will now transmit data traffic into its own wireless area.
Access Point
As Access Point, the Gigaset WLAN Repeater permits wireless connection of PCs to a wired local
network. You can also connect a computer to the Internet via a DSL or cable modem with Eth-
ernet interface in this mode.
Network adapter
The Gigaset WLAN Repeater can be connected directly to the Ethernet port of a computer or
to a games console. In this mode it is a wireless network adapter. There is no need to install
any additional driver software on the computer or the games console.
When you make a connection from a computer or games console to a wireless router, you
operate the Gigaset WLAN Repeater in the Network adapter (infrastructure) mode.
When you make a wireless connection between two computers or two games consoles, you
operate the Gigaset WLAN Repeater in the Network adapter (ad-hoc) mode.
You select the mode with the web-based configuration program.
