April 2019 Configure a router with advanced MAC settings to work with your extender If you enabled a WiFi MAC filter, WiFi access control, or access control list (ACL) on your router, when a 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, WiFi 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 translated MAC address to the router. To add a translated MAC address to your router and reserve an IP address for your extender: 1. Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL. For more information about how to disable your router's MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL, see your router's documentation. 2. Power on the extender and connect all of your WiFi devices to the extender. 3. Make sure that the Router Link LED remains lit. 4. Log in to your extender: a. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your extender network. b. Log in to your extender: • If you did not enable the One WiFi Name feature, enter www.mywifiext.net in the address field of the browser. • If you enabled the One WiFi Name feature, enter one of the following URLs: -- Windows-based computer. http://mywifiext.local/ or http://mywifiext/ -- Mac computers and iOS devices. http://mywifiext.local/ -- Android devices. http://
