Use the Extender with MAC Filtering or
Access Control
When the WiFi device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address
of the wireless device that is shown on the router is translated to another MAC address.
If your router's MAC filter, wireless 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 wireless device to receive an IP address from the
extender and access the Internet, you must provide the translated MAC address to the
router.
To add a translated MAC address to your router:
1.
Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL.
For more information about how to disable your router’s MAC filter, wireless 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.
Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
extender network.
4. Log in to your extender:
•
If your extender and router use different WiFi network names (SSIDs), enter
www.mywifiext.net.
•
If your extender and router use the same WiFi network name (SSID), enter
http://<extender’s IP address> (for example, http://192.168.1.3).
For more information about how to find your extender's IP address, see Find
Extender's IP Address on page 44.
