To Add A Translated Mac Address To Your Router - NETGEAR WiFi extender User Manual

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.
