to work with your extender
If you enabled a WiFi MAC filter, WiFi access control, or access control list (ACL)
on your router, when a WiFi device connects through the extender to your router,
the MAC address of the WiFi device shown on the router is translated to another
MAC address.
If your router’s MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL is enabled, the WiFi device
connects to the extender but cannot get an IP address from the extender and
cannot access the Internet.
To allow the WiFi device to receive an IP address from the extender and access
the Internet, you must provide translated MAC address to the router.
To add a translated MAC address to your router and reserve an IP address for
your extender:
1. Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL.
For more information about how to disable your router’s MAC filter, WiFi
access control, or ACL, see your router’s documentation.
2. Power on the extender and connect all of your WiFi devices to the extender.
3. Make sure that the Router Link LED remains lit.
4. Log in to your extender:
a. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is
connected to your extender network.
b. Log in to your extender:
• If you did not enable the One WiFi Name feature, enter
