I read the manual and am now confused...
If I connect a device that needs internet access to the extender via an ethernet cable, will it still function as a wifi range extender at the same time?
If so...I do use MAC restrictions and read that this device assigns virtual MAC addresses to it's clients. Does it remember each device that it assigns a virtual MAC address and give it the same address each time it connects?
Thanks
