Barriers to MAC address filter

Barriers to MAC address filter

D-Link DAP-1320 / E WLAN Repeater (accessory)

Customer Review

First, the positive: The repeater does what it should and allows surfing in the router from remote areas of our apartment.
For the device has two connection methods: on the one hand via a Mobile App (available for Apple + Android) or via WPS. Because my older router from "Linksys" WPS does not support, I have made the setup with the mobile App. Using the Wizards configuration was completed fairly quickly and easily.

Here now comes the BUT and the reason for the withdrawal of two stars:
The DAP-1320 uses 2 MAC addresses parallel - One to connect to the router and a second, which is only used when mobile devices through the DAP-1320 is connected to the wireless.
BOTH MAC addresses must be enabled on the router, otherwise with activated MAC address filtering on the router comes to connectivity problems.

The first is not a problem, but despite intensive search was only the first of the two addresses to read through the user interface of the latest firmware (click on the repeater icon).
After some research I found the following solution, which worked for me:
In firmware version 1.0 (the current is V1.11) various additional information is displayed.
So, to come to this second address, I have the firmware "downgraded" to four versions of the Old. There, the additional information is displayed.
After I had the two MAC addresses now listed, I was able to update to the latest firmware version and take everything with MAC address filtering is enabled in operation.

As described in the repeater is doing what he should.
However, I need for such a reduced user interface to simplify, at the self-relevant information by the wayside deduct two stars.
