I have a WRT54GS Router and a WRE54G Range Extender.
Linksys told me that I cannot enable Mac filtering (to prevent others from having access) on the Range Extender.
However if I have Mac filtering on the router will the Range Extender use this to only allow certain PC's since it must communicate with the router?
Thanks, Patty
That is what I thought and will try it next time my roommate comes home (on a trip) with her laptop.

The router is the gateway device for the WAN (Wide Area Network -- Internet) and LAN (Local Area Network -- machines on your local network) and where you would control what wireless NIC MAC's can access the gateway router. A range extender is just that an extender to extend the range of your wireless reception.
