No connection to the
Gigaset SE587 WLAN
dsl's configuration
interface.

Use the

ping

command to check whether you can

establish a network connection to the Gigaset SE587
WLAN dsl.

Check the network cable between the PC you want to
use to manage the device and the Gigaset SE587 WLAN
dsl.

If the PC you want to use is in the router's local network,
make sure that you are using the correct IP address
administration (see above).

If the PC you want to use is not in the router's local net-
work, it must be authorised via Remote Management.

Password forgotten or

Reset the Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl (see page 5).

Warning

: Please bear in mind that this will return

all

the

configuration settings to the factory settings.

You cannot access a
resource (drive or
printer) on another PC.

Make sure that the network is configured correctly on
all the PCs in the local network and that the PCs all
belong to the same workgroup.

Check whether the resource has been released on the
PC in question and whether you have the necessary
access rights.

Printing: Check whether the printer has been set up as a
network printer.

The transmission rate is
too low. For example,
there are pixel errors
with video streaming.

Radio data transmission depends on the operating envi-
ronment, for example the building stock or the influ-
ence of other devices in the vicinity that transmit in the
2.4-GHz frequency range.

Arrange your wireless devices closer together.

Change the antenna direction.

Position the device elsewhere.

Switch off other radio sources in the vicinity. They may
interfere with data transmission.

Choose a different channel.

Check to see if the problem also arises with a different
type of encryption.
