Netgear EAX14 Setup

The EAX14 WiFi extender by Netgear can create a mesh network with your existing router to provide seamless connectivity. You should obviously set up your Netgear EAX14 router with your existing router if you want to access the internet without worrying about signal drop.

How to Set Up Netgear EAX14 WiFi Extender?

The Nighthawk smartphone app makes it simple to install the EAX14 range extender. However, you need to reset your Netgear WiFi extender first. The purpose of this action is to guarantee that the extender operates using the factory default settings. Here’s how you use the app to set up the extender:

Verify that the EAX14 extender is turned on and positioned close to the router.
Get the Netgear Nighthawk app on your tablet or smartphone, then install it.
Use the WiFi utility to connect your smartphone to the Netgear_EXT, the default WiFi network.
Consult the label of the extender if you are unsure of the WiFi password.
The Nighthawk app must then be opened.
You will be asked to create an account if this is your first time using the site.
For that, use your email address and password.
The screen will display a few on-screen prompts.
To get your Netgear EAX14 extender up and running, follow these steps.

Note: When the program asks for your router’s WiFi password, you must input it correctly. If not, the setup procedure will be unsuccessful. Additionally, do not use the old version of the Netgear Nighthawk app to complete the setup.

Netgear EAX14 WPS Setup

If there is a WPS button on your host router, you will be lucky. As a result, you won’t be able to complete the time-consuming in-app prompts. Simply hit the WPS button on the router and then the extender within two minutes to finish the Netgear EAX14 setup. Press the WPS buttons twice if the router has dual-band radio capabilities. This method works well for setting up the Netgear AX1800 as well.
