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 a device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC address of the 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 device connects to the extender but cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access the Internet. To allow your 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 about 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 devices to the extender network. 3. Make sure that the Router Link LED remains lit. 4. Log in to your extender: a. Launch a web browser. b. Enter www.mywifiext.net in the address field of the browser. A login page displays. 18

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 a device connects through the extender to your router, the MAC
address of the 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 device connects to the extender but cannot get an IP address
from the extender and cannot access the Internet.
To allow your 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 about 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 devices to the
extender network.
3.
Make sure that the Router Link LED remains lit.
4.
Log in to your extender:
a.
