Cloning Your Pc's Mac Address - Hercules HWGEXT-54 User Manual

Hercules HWGEXT-54
- You can modify the IP Address of your Hercules WiFi Extender (192.168.1.254, by default), its Subnet
mask (255.255.255.0, by default), and designate the gateway.
Be sure to make a note of the IP address. Without it, you will not be able to reconnect to your Hercules
WiFi Extender.
- If you leave the Internal DHCP server enabled box ticked, the Hercules WiFi Extender will allocate the
range of start and end IP addresses you have defined and will use the Default Gateway, DNS Server
address, Domain Name and Lease Time specified.
- If you untick the Internal DHCP server enabled box, the Hercules WiFi Extender can serve as a DHCP
relay and distribute the IP addresses that you have set via the modem router.

4.11.3. Cloning your PC's MAC address

Thanks to WiFi Extender Manager, you can assign the same MAC address to your Hercules WiFi Extender as
that of your PC. This principle is called cloning, and is particularly useful when an Internet Service Provider
locks a connection to a specific MAC address (that of your computer, for example), thereby prohibiting any
connection from another MAC address (that of your Hercules WiFi Extender, in particular).
To clone a MAC address:
- On the home page, click the Advanced Settings button to access the advanced settings for your WiFi
network.
- On the page displayed, click the MAC address button.
- Enter the MAC address you wish to use.
- Click the Clone my PC's MAC address button.
- Click Apply.
