I've just changed from Optus to Dodo and I have kept the Optus Ultra WiFi Booster. I want to install linux on a late 2014 Mac mini but linux doesn't have the required drivers for wireless access. I don't have access to ethernet as its in another section of my house. That's why I need to get the wifi booster working so I can plug an ethernet cable in and access the web. It worked great with Optus modem. Is there some settings I can use to enable the Nighthawk AX5 RAX30 to connect with the Optus Ultra WiFi Booster? I don't really want to buy another booster/extender if I can get away with the Optus one? I've tried the reset etc but no luck. Any help greatly appreceated.

If your problem is with the Optus Ultra WiFi Booster. I'd start at that end. Netgear can't help you with that.
It might help if you told people what the rest of the network looks like. What is the modem/gateway/ONT that connects you to the Internet?
What is the layout of your network:
Modem >>> RAX30 >>> Optus?
How are you connecting the RAX30 to the Optus? Wired or wifi?

Have you looked in the manual for details on "bridge mode"?
