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 WiFi 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 window opens.
