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 the 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.

6.
On the router, add all of the extender’s virtual
MAC addresses and all of the virtual MAC
addresses of the devices connected to the
extender to your router’s MAC filter table.
Note:
To reserve a specific IP address for the
extender, you must specify the first virtual MAC
address that displays for your extender’s 2.4 GHz
or 5 GHz network in your router’s IP reservation
table. (The first virtual MAC address that displays
for your extender’s 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks is
the same.)

or ACL.
