You will need them to find these client devices’ virtual MAC address.ī. Check your client devices’ real MAC address, and write them down. Find virtual MAC address of the clients connected to RE:Ī. You can easily find the rule by comparing the above computer’s real MAC address (8C–89–A5– CE–14-93) with its virtual MAC address (16–CC–20– CE–14-93).Ģ. But there is one important thing you should be aware of, which is the latter 24bits of each client’s virtual MAC address are exactly the same as the latter 24bits of client’s real MAC address. Now you can see the Router can only see your computer’s virtual MAC address but not real MAC address. Here is your computer’s virtual MAC address (16–CC–20–CE–14-93).Ĭ. Then check the MAC address of your computer shown on your Router’s Web page. Here is your computer’s real MAC address (8C–89–A5–CE–14-93).ī. Please check your computer’s MAC address just like this. By comparing the figures below, you can better understand the process.Ī. Thus the router will take the virtual MAC address of the clients as their real MAC address, so that we need type the virtual MAC addresses of these clients in the MAC Filtering of the router instead of their real MAC addresses. In Proxy Mode, Range Extender will replace each of its clients’ MAC address with a virtual MAC address generated automatically by Range Extender. Part A: If Range Extender is working on Proxy Mode Note: In this article, Mac Filtering aims to control the clients connected to the Range Extender, not the device connected to the router directly. In the article, we will take RE210 and C7 as the example. TL-WA850RE_V1,V1.2/TL-WA860RE except of EU version could change among three modes. TL-WA830RE_V1,V2/TL-WA730RE/TL-WA750RE support Universal Mode and WDS mode. RE355 and RE450 only support Universal Mode. Note: Most models of RE adopt Proxy mode by default and cannot be changed. Please make sure your Range Extender has connected to the router successfully and check which mode that your Range Extender is working on: Here we will explain the reason and introduce the detailed steps to make it work.Īctually Blue UI version of router already remove MAC filtering instead of Access control, and the guidance is only available for Green UI router.
Some customers tried to set up Mac Filtering on the main router to control the clients connected to the Range Extender, but they eventually found that their settings didn’t work normally.
