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

4.10.2. 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:
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 Livebox.
- 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.
