How to Set Up Netgear EAX50 Range Extender?
Setting up an EAX50 range extender is not too tough. Simply press the WPS buttons on the router and extension one after the other. If you do not have a WPS-authorized router, you can still configure the range extender using mywifiext.net by following the instructions below.
- Attach your EAX50 to a readily available electrical outlet in the same room where you have connected in your WiFi router.
- Turn on the Netgear extender after rebooting your router.
- Open the WiFi settings on your laptop or PC that has WiFi, then search for the Netgear_EXT default SSID of the extender.
- Use the password listed on the product label to log into the EAX50 extender’s WiFi network. Go to mywifiext.net now in a web browser.
- The New Extender Setup page will then be displayed to you.
- When you click the button on that page, you will be prompted to accept the terms and conditions of using the extension.
- A network scan will begin when you accept the user license agreement, and you will need to select the WiFi network linked to the main router and enter its network key.
- To complete the Netgear EAX50 setup, follow the on-screen directions.
The manual setup process for an EAX50 range extender is completed in this manner. You are probably using a Mac device if you are unable to access mywifiext.net with your computer. In this situation, use mywifiext.local to finish the configuration. Restart the extender if the setup issues persist.
The Netgear Nighthawk app is another way to install the Netgear EAX50 WiFi range extender. The nighthawk-app.com URL can be used to download the app.
How to Reset Netgear EAX50 Extender
You can adjust your device by resetting the range extender, which will erase all individual settings. The steps to reset a Netgear EAX50 are as follows:
- Verify that your extension is not attached to any devices.
- Once you are certain, check all the surfaces of the extender to find the reset button.
- Press the EAX50’s Reset button.
- Holding the button down for seven seconds completes the factory default reset.
This is the way to reset your Netgear extender for your EAX50 WiFi extender. You may now configure it using the web GUI, the Nighthawk mobile app, or the WPS method.
