Q5. I have enabled wireless MAC filter, wireless access control, or access
control list (ACL) on my router. What should I do before configuring
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 devices connected to the extender
cannot get an IP address from the extender and cannot access the Internet.
