I enabled a WiFi MAC filter, WiFi access control, or access control
list (ACL) on my router. What should I do when installing the
extender?
When the 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.
