The two tables below provide further information regarding the two Range Extenders MAC address usage: Then we toggle the bit as per EX6200 C 6:04:15:5F:20:A C MAC3 is MAC1 minus 1 C4:04:15:5F:20:A C (See hexadecimal table below) MAC1, just toggle the bit as shown earlier C 6:04:15:5F:20:AD The EX6100 instead, uses virtual addresses for both 2.4 and 5GHz Network interfaces when connecting to the main router. Therefore if MAC 1 = C 4:04:15:5F:20:AD then MAC 3 = C 6:04:15:5F:20:AD, this is the virtual address for the 5GHz. After toggling the bit to 1 we obtain 1100/01 10 = ‘C6’ (See hexadecimal table below). ‘C4’ is the first number (hexadecimal) and it is equal to 1100/0100 in binary. The bit to toggle is the 7 th from left to the right. To obtain this virtual address the 7 th bit of the first hexadecimal number needs to be toggled.Ĭonsidering the MAC1 address in the picture above C4:04:15:5F:20:AD A third MAC address (not printed) is used for the 5GHz and virtually obtained from the real MAC1 address. The EX6200, as the image above shows, uses the MAC1 for the 2.4GHz Wireless card and the MAC2 for the LAN card. (the image above shows the EX6200 MAC addresses labels printed on the unit and the Retail box) The two real MAC addresses can be found on the label on the back (EX6200) or on the bottom (EX6100): In such case, the virtual MAC address needs to be manually retrieved. The problem exists only when the router does not have an Attached Devices page. Generally, the correct procedure is to disable the Access List, connect the clients to the router through the Extender and then add the MAC addresses on the Attached Devices page. When using a NETGEAR WiFi Range extender, wirelessly connected to the router, the MAC addresses of all the connected wired and wireless clients will be replaced by a virtual address. When an A ccess List is enabled on the existing Router, access will only be granted to the specified devices in the Access List.

Click on Start > Run > Type cmd command followed by ENTER key.This article will provide instructions on how to add the correct MAC address into the Access List (also known as ACL or MAC Filtering) on a router and to add a NETGEAR WiFi Range Extender (EX6100/EX6200) onto an existing LAN network.

If you are using Microsoft Windows XP then you need to open MS-DOS shell prompt first.
Windows XP/NT/2003 find out Router Mac address Please note that your interface name (br0) could be different. TX packets:61329 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:48574 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 If you have telnet access to router then you can just telnet into router and find out MAC address:īr0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:5C:00:00:01 If you cannot find MAC address then just ping to your router once (my router had 192.168.1.254 IP)Īnd then run (type arp -a) above arp command again. In above example 00:08:5C:00:00:01 is MAC address of my router. To get your router MAC address, use arp command as follows: If the hostname parameter is not used, all entries will be displayed. For debugging purposes, the arp program also allows a complete dump of the ARP cache.ĪRP shows the entries of the specified hosts. The primary options are clearing an address mapping entry and manually setting up one. You need to use arp command (available on both Windows, Linux/Unixish systems).ĪRP manipulates the kernel's ARP cache in various ways. If you do not have access to router admin interface (via telnet or webbased), use following method to find out router MAC address. It is a unique identifier attached to almost most all networking equipment such as Routers, Ethernet cards and other devices. MAC is acronym for for Media Access Control address.
