How to set up the WiFi Extender: Buffalo WEX-733DHP
- Find the MAC address of your extender.
- Use VPN Hotspot on an Android device and turn on Repeater mode.
- Connect the WiFi hotspot.
- You will find the MAC Address of the extender.
- Note: an extender has two MAC addresses; one as a server and the other as a client.
- Open 192.168.11.100.

- Make a connection to the 1st WiFi station.
- WN-G300EXP-1 Ikyoku 36:76:c5:8e:16:a8
- WN-G300EXP-2 Ikyoku 36:76:c5:5e:03:8e
IKYOKU-AP: ikyokukanri
- connect to the Parent Wi-Fi. eg. Ikyoku
# SSID BSSID encrypt %
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
13 ITW_WLAN 20:A6:CD:7B:4B:00 WPA2-PSK(AES) 91 <- strong!
- change the SSID.
you need to find the assigned IP address of the WN-G300EXP.
The best way to do that;
- boot ubuntu.
- show ap mac address: $ iwconfig wlp2s0
- Connect to wireless AP by MAC address:
$ iwconfig wlp2s0 ap 34:76:c5:8e16:a8
$ ip link set wlan0 down
$ ip link set wlan0 up
- nmap -sP 172.30.0.0/22 # 0, 1, 2, 3 are belonging to one network.
old:
assume assinged address 172.16.1.199 with network address; 255.255.252.0.
0. boot ubuntu. use the small-dongle. nmap will be needed to install.
0. the list of wifi ssid: $ nmcli dev wifi
1. bc

2. nmap -sP 172.31.40.0/24 ; nmap -sP 172.31.41.0/24 ; nmap -sp ; nmap -sP 172.31.42.0/24 ; nmap -sp ; arp -a | grep "34:76:c5:8e:16:a8*
2. nmap -sP 172.16.0.0/24 ; nmap -sP 172.16.1.0/24 ; nmap -sp ; nmap -sP 172.16.2.0/24 ; nmap -sp ; arp -a | grep "34:76:c5:5e:03:8e*
note: the target mac address 34:76:c5:5e:03:8e
3. http://172.16.1.169/ not https://
Note: try a couple of times of 2, if it does not work at the first time.
Do-NOTs:
1. change SSID first --> then NO DHCP works anymore.
How to Spoof MAC address by ubuntu. (if you need to login via a browser)
The extender can not show a login page, thus you need to complete a login via ubuntu by spoofing the MAC address.
Login for the two extenders:
- 36:76:C5:8E:16:A8(IO) / 34:76:C5:8E:16:A8(IO)
- 84:AF:EC:08:09:E6 (Bf) / 84:AF:EC:58:09:E6
Original Mac Address on wifi card on Ubuntu: 5C:E0:C5:28:EA:47.
- GUI
- Top-Right -> Wifi Settings -> select ssid -> push "wheel" button.
- tap identity button -> clone id -> type the mac address.
- $ ifconfig to find it has been changed.
- Command Line
- $ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 down
- $ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 address 36:76:C5:8E:16:A8(IO) / 84:AF:EC:08:09:E6 (Bf)
- $ sudo ip link set wlp3s0 up
- $ iwconfig # find the mac address has been changed.
- $ sudo ifconfig wlp3s0 172.30.2.254/22 # set the ip address
- $ sudo route add -net 172.30.0.0 netmask 255.255.252.0 wlp3s0
- $ sudo route add default gw 172.30.0.1
Now Spoof is done!
- plug off the extender. (you have two devices with the same MAC address on a ssid network.)
- login via ubuntu.
- wifi off and reconnect your wifi extender again.
