Hi, all. Is there a way to turn MAC filtering on/off on an extender? I have a device that reads data wirelessly from an outdoor weather station and sends it through a router, via an ethernet connection, to an online site. The device worked fine with an eeros MESH system but fails to connect with our new Fios extender. The manufacturer suggests turning off MAC filtering, but I don't see a way to do that in the admin dashboard. Thanks.

I see. Sorry for mistaking as a wireless connection. Ethernet does not have any restrictions either out of the box. The only thing I could think of is Access Control under the Firewall, but no address is blocked by default.
Wireless MAC authentication is by default NOT on. Is it because the main SSID contains some 5 GHz or 6 GHz band? Try enabling the IoT SSID and connect any IoT devices to that.
Thanks. But this weather station bridge is not a WiFi device. It only connects via ethernet to the router (or, in this case, extender).
