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.
