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 Link Status 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:
•

Settings > Connected Devices
.
The Connected Devices page displays the MAC addresses and virtual MAC
addresses for computers and WiFi devices that are connected to the extender
network.
6.
On the router, add the 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.)
7.
Enable the router’s MAC filter, WiFi access control, or ACL.
