Port Forwarding with EX6420

Hi all, 

I have a trouble using my new Extender Netgear EX6420.

 

I need to open, on my router, a few ports on a few ip addresses.

I noticed that the extender assigns the same (virtual) mac address to all the devices connected to the network cable.
Consequently, the router is not able to assign a specific port to each IP address since for him the available mac address is only one.
How can I do to resolve?

 

Thanks,

Marcello

      Hi Christian, 

      Thank you for your suggestion. I knew about 90 days but I also have a problem with product registration. entering the serial I get this error: "the country of purchase is not valid". I don't know how to register the extender for assistance
