DNS server
DNS is a decentralised service that assigns PC names or Internet addresses (Domain
names) and IP addresses to one another. A DNS server has to administer this information
for each server or each LAN with an Internet connection.
Normally your Internet provider supplies you with a DNS server, which makes this
assignment when the connection to the Internet is set up. If necessary, you can define
the DNS server to be used for Internet connections manually.
ì In the Advanced SettingsInternetInternet Connection menu, select the entry
DNS Servers.
ì Activate the Use custom DNS servers function by selecting On.
ì Enter the IP addresses for your Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server.
ì Click OK to apply the settings.

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 SE366 WLAN and open the configuration environment.
ì In the Advanced SettingsInternetInternet Connection menu, select the entry
