AC750 WiFi Range Extender
Deny Access to a WiFi-Enabled or Mobile Device
By default, access control is disabled so that it is easy for you to connect to the extender’s
WiFi networks.
You can deny network access to specific WiFi-enabled computers and mobile devices based
on their MAC addresses. Each network device is assigned a MAC address, which is a unique
12-character physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or
A–F only,
and separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is
on the label of the WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device. If you cannot access the label,
you can display the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer.
You might also find the MAC addresses on the Connected Devices page (see View
Connected Devices on page 19).
To use WiFi access control to deny access:
1. On your WiFi-enabled computer or mobile device, open the WiFi connection manager
and locate and connect to the extender WiFi network.
2. Launch a web browser

3. Enter www
.mywifiext.net in the address field of the browser.
A login window opens.

5. Select Settings > Connected Devices.
The Connected Devices page displays.
6. In the WiFi Devices section, select the Enable Access
Control check box.

computers and mobile devices that are connected to the extender.
7. Select the Deny check box for the device.
