The Basic Setup Wizard guides you step by step through the general configuration of the

Gigaset SE361 WLAN. This includes settings for your region and for your Internet access.

Connection to the

Internet

is established via the Gigaset SE361 WLAN for all PCs con-

nected to it. You will need your

Internet Provider's

access data for configuration. You

should therefore have this data to hand.

wish.

ì

Note:

The Basic Setup Wizard will reconfigure your Internet settings if you have already set

them. This does not affect the WLAN and LAN settings.

The access data is stored in the Gigaset SE361 WLAN during configuration. Before

passing the device on to somebody else or having your dealer replace it, you should

first restore the configuration to the factory settings (see page 69). If you do not,

unauthorised persons will be able to use your Internet access data at your expense.
