RAX120 setup problem

Question

Hey everyone! My WiFi extender (used as an access point) died. I have an RAX120 and after resetting it and trying to set it up as an access point, it has been nothing but a headache. I know I’m not in my prime any more, but what am I missing? Do I set it up as a router again then switch it to an access point? I’ve tried the nighthawk app and my laptop and yielded nothing using both methods…please help an older man 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Edit: I have a gateway that I got from my ISP, in case you were wondering how I want to use the RAX120 as an AP..😅😅

With the power to your RAX120 turned off, make sure you Ethernet cable connects from an active output port on your ISP gateway to the WAN input port on your RAX120.&nbsp; Restart your RAX120.&nbsp;Log in to the management page on your ISP gateway to determine what IP address has been assigned to your RAX120.&nbsp; You would use this IP address to log in to the RAX120 user configuration page.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
