Connecting NETGEAR WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender EAX20 to Nighthawk Router using Wired Connection
Hello community members,
I recently purchased a NETGEAR WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender EAX20 with the aim of improving my network coverage. I own a Nighthawk Router and would like to connect the two devices using a wired connection for a stronger signal.
Is it possible to directly connect the NETGEAR WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender EAX20 to my Nighthawk Router using an Ethernet cable? If so, what specific setup steps do I need to follow to establish the wired connection?
Thank You.....

Yes you can. When going through setup, follow the access point setup process and not extender process.
