I enabled a wireless MAC filter (wireless access control or ACL)
on my router. What should I do when installing the extender?
When the wireless device connects through the extender to your
router, the MAC address of the wireless device shown on the router is
translated to another MAC address. If your router’s MAC filter is
enabled, the wireless device connects to the extender but cannot get
an IP address from the extender and cannot access the Internet.
To allow the wireless device to receive an IP address from the
extender and access the Internet, you must provide the translated
MAC address to the router.
1. Disable the MAC filter on your router.
2. Power on the extender and connect all of your wireless devices to
the extender.
3. Make sure that the Link Rate LED remains lit.
4. Log in to your router and check the attached devices on the
Attached Devices screen.
5. Add any MAC addresses that begin with 02:0F:B5 to your router’s
MAC filter table.
