Deny Access to a Computer or WiFi Device

By default, access control is disabled so that it is easy for you to connect to the extender's
WiFi networks.
You can deny network access to specific computers and WiFi devices based on their
MAC addresses. Each network device is assigned a MAC address, which is a unique
12-character physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F
only, and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC
address is on the label of the WiFi device. If you cannot access the label, you can display
the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might
also find the MAC addresses on the Connected Devices page (see View Connected
Devices on page 27).
To use WiFi access control to deny access:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
extender network.
2. 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.
