NETGEAR EAX80 User Manual

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

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.
