applications, e.g.:
u
Internet access
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN gives several users access to the Internet when a DSL or
cable modem is connected.

SE361 WLAN contains an integrated PPPoE
Client
, which means you no longer
need to set up this service on your PC yourself.

If your Internet provider permits this, the Gigaset SE361 WLAN supports Internet
access for up to 252 users. In practice, multiple users in your network can surf the
Internet simultaneously using just one Internet access.

–
for four devices via
Ethernet
ports with a transmission speed of 10 or 100
Mbps
(with automatic recognition).

for up to 32 mobile terminals via a radio interface with a transmission speed of
up to 54 Mbps. It complies with the
IEEE 802.11g

u
Security functions
The Gigaset SE361 WLAN offers comprehensive security measures:
–
Firewall
protection against unauthorised access from the Internet
All PCs in the local area network use the

net. The Gigaset SE361 WLAN only allows access from the Internet if this has
been requested from within the local area network.

against hacker attacks.

The Gigaset SE361 WLAN can filter Internet access. Here you determine which
PCs may access which Internet services.
In addition, you can deactivate access to certain Internet domains and sites (URL
filtering).

Access control and encryption for the local wireless network
You can use various encryption methods and authentication methods (WEP, WPA/
WPA2-PSK, MAC access control) to prevent unauthorised access to your wireless
LAN or make data illegible to unauthorised parties.
