Set Up a Wireless Access List

By default, any wireless device that is configured with the correct network name (SSID) can access the extender’s WiFi networks. For increased security, you can restrict access to the extender’s WiFi networks so that only wireless devices with the MAC addresses that you add to an access list can connect.

Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find the MAC addresses on the Attached Devices screen (see View Wired and Wireless Network Devices on page 39).

CAUTION:

If you use a wireless device to set up the access list, add your wireless device to the access list. Otherwise, you are disconnected when you click the Apply button. To avoid this situation, use a computer with a wired connection to access the extender.

Before you enable the access list, you must add the MAC addresses of the wireless devices that you want to allow to access the WiFi network of the extender.

To set up and enable the access list:

1.On your computer, launch a web browser.

2.In the address field of your browser, enter http://www.mywifiext.net.

You are prompted to enter a user name and password. If you do not see the login prompt, make sure to include http:// when you type http://www.mywifiext.net in your browser.
