Range Extender Login

The range extender requires you to log in with a user name and password. This ensures that no one can make unauthorized changes to your range extender’s settings. Please note that the user name and password are case-sensitive.

MAC Filter

You can use MAC filtering to either allow or deny access to your range extender by certain wireless devices. This is an excellent way to ensure that only your own devices can use your range extender and its Internet connection.

When MAC filtering is enabled, the “How to Add a New Wireless Client” tutorial provides more information on how MAC filtering affects adding new wireless clients and how to locate a client’s MAC address.

You can also learn more about MAC addresses and MAC filtering in the user manual on the installation CD-ROM.

Range Extender Login

You will need to enter the user name and password in order to access the range extender in the future, so you may want to write them down.

MAC Filter

Use this section to allow (or deny) specific wireless devices the ability to connect to the range extender. For example, you could specify that only your laptop, gaming system and digital video recorder can connect. (Please note that wired clients are always permitted to connect.)

Press the Allow Current Clients button to automatically permit the current wireless client devices to connect to the range extender. (The changes aren’t saved until you press the Save button.)
