I enabled a wireless MAC filter, wireless access control, or access control list (ACL) on my router. What should I do when installing the extender?
When the WiFi device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address of the WiFi device 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 WiFi device to receive an IP address from the extender and access the Internet, you must provide the translated MAC address to the router.
1.Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL.
For more information on how to disable your router’s MAC filter, wireless access control, or ACL, see your router’s documentation.
2.Power on the extender and connect all of your WiFi devices to the extender network.
3.Make sure that the Client Link LED remains lit.
4.Log in to your extender.
a.Launch a web browser and in the address field, enter www.mywifiext.net or www.mywifiext.com.
