MAC Address
If you had Internet access through the same Internet provider before connecting the
Gigaset SX541 WLAN dsl, 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 pro-
vider 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 SX541 WLAN dsl and open the configuration environ-
ment.
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 SX541 WLAN dsl is used for connecting to the Inter-
net.
– 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.

Click OK to apply the settings.
