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
WiFi device that is 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 the translated MAC address to the router.
To add a translated MAC address to your router:
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 you did not enable the One WiFi Name feature, enter http://mywifiext.local in the
address field of the browser.
