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.Refer to the following articles to learn more about MAC addresses and MAC filtering:When an A ccess List is enabled on the existing Router, access will only be granted to the specified devices in the Access List. 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.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.The problem exists only when the router does not have an Attached Devices page. In such case, the virtual MAC address needs to be manually retrieved.To retrieve the MAC address:The two real MAC addresses can be found on the label on the back (EX6200) or on the bottom (EX6100):(the image above shows the EX6200 MAC addresses labels printed on the unit and the Retail box)The EX6200, as the image above shows, uses the MAC1 for the 2.4GHz Wireless card and the MAC2 for the LAN card. A third MAC address (not printed) is used for the 5GHz and virtually obtained from the real MAC1 address.To obtain this virtual address the 7 th bit of the first hexadecimal number needs to be toggled.Considering the MAC1 address in the picture above C4:04:15:5F:20:AD‘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. GearHead Support for Home UsersGearHead Support is a technical support service for NETGEAR devices and all other connected devices in your home.

The solutions in this article work with these Mac models, which have Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports:
MacBook Pro (pictured), MacBook Air, iMac Pro, iMac, and Mac mini have multiple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) ports.
If your Mac has only one port like this, it's a MacBook with USB-C . That port supports all but the Thunderbolt solutions in this article.
MacBook has just one port, which supports USB-C but not Thunderbolt.
iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) have one USB-C port. Learn more about using the USB-C port on your iPad Pro.
Identify the connector used by your cable
To find the right solution for your Mac or iPad Pro, use these images to identify the connector on the end of the cable used by your device. Check the end that plugs into your Mac or iPad Pro, not the end that plugs into your device.
Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C)
If you're using an Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable or other Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) cable with your display or other device, it should work with your Mac without an adapter.
The LG UltraFine 5K Display uses Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C).
USB-C
If you're using a Belkin USB-C to USB-C cable or other USB-C cable with your display or other device, it should work with your Mac or iPad Pro without an adapter.
The LG UltraFine 4K Display uses USB-C.
Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2
If you're using a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 cable with a Thunderbolt display or other device, use the Apple Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) to Thunderbolt 2 Adapter.
This is the correct solution for the Apple Thunderbolt Display.
Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt 2 are not the same as Mini DisplayPort , though the ports have the same shape. If you're using a Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 cable with a Mini DisplayPort display, this solution won't work.
Mini DisplayPort
If you're using a Mini DisplayPort cable with a Mini DisplayPort display, use a third-party USB-C to Mini DisplayPort adapter. Check with its manufacturer for compatibility with your Mac and display model.
This is the correct solution for the Apple LED Cinema Display.
Mini DisplayPort is not the same as Thunderbolt or Thunderbolt 2 . They have the same shape, but use different symbols on the cable and port.
DisplayPort
If you're using a DisplayPort cable with your display, use a third-party USB-C to DisplayPort adapter or cable, such as the Moshi USB-C to DisplayPort Cable.
HDMI
If you're using an HDMI cable with your display, use the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter or a third-party USB-C to HDMI adapter or cable.
VGA
If you're using a VGA cable with your display, use the Apple USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter. Or use a third-party USB-C to VGA adapter, such as the Belkin USB-C to VGA Adapter.
Ethernet
If you're using an Ethernet cable with your device, use a third-party USB-C to Ethernet adapter, such as the Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.
USB-A
If you're using a USB-A cable with your device, use the Apple USB-C to USB Adapter. The Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter and the Apple USB-C VGA Multiport Adapter also include a USB-A port.
To charge an iPhone, iPad, or iPod from a Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) or USB-C port without one of these adapters, you can use the Apple USB-C to Lightning Cable instead.
DVI
If you're using a DVI cable with your display, use a third-party USB-C to DVI adapter or cable. Check with its manufacturer for compatibility with your Mac and display model.
This is the correct solution for the Apple Cinema Display.
