Manage a WiFi Access List

By default, any WiFi device that is configured with the correct network name (SSID) can
access the WiFi network of the extender. For increased security, you can restrict access to
the WiFi network of the extender to allow only specific WiFi devices based on their MAC
addresses. Devices that are not on the access list cannot join the WiFi network of the
extender.
AC1200 WiFi Range Extender
Description
By default, the Enable Device's PIN check box is selected and the extender's PIN
is enabled. For enhanced security, you can disable the extender's PIN by clearing
the Enable Device's PIN check box. However, when you disable the extender's
PIN, WPS is not disabled because you can still use the physical WPS button.
Note: The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects
suspicious attempts to break into the router's WiFi settings by using the router's
PIN through WPS.
By default, automatic disabling of the PIN is turned on, and the PIN is disabled
after three failed PIN connections. In this situation, the WPS LED blinks slowly.
When you restart the extender, the PIN is reenabled.
To turn off automatic disabling of the PIN, clear the check box below the Enable
Device's PIN check box. You can change this setting only when the PIN is
enabled.
To change the number of times that a PIN connection is allowed to fail, enter a
number in the field. You can change this number only when the PIN is enabled.
By default, the settings on the Wireless Settings screen remain the same when
you use WPS to establish a WiFi connection in the 2.4 GHz band. Clear the Keep
Existing Wireless Settings (2.4GHz b/g/n) check box only if you want to allow
the WPS process to change the SSID and passphrase for access in the 2.4 GHz
band on the Wireless Settings screen.
By default, the settings on the Wireless Settings screen remain the same when
you use WPS to establish a WiFi connection in the 5 GHz band. Clear the Keep
Existing Wireless Settings (5GHz a/n/ac) check box only if you want to allow the
WPS process to change the SSID and passphrase for access in the 5 GHz band
on the Wireless Settings screen.
