Can I set up the extender in extender mode if I connect it to the

router or access point with an Ethernet cable?

No. The extender is designed to connect wirelessly to the router or access

point if it is in extender mode. If the extender is in access point mode, you

can connect it to the router or access point with an Ethernet connection.

For more information about access point mode, see Use the Extender in

Access Point Mode on page 5.

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 the 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, wireless 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 the translated MAC address to the

router.

¾ To add a translated MAC address to your router:

1. Log in to your router and disable the MAC filter, wireless access

control, or ACL.
