EAX20 extender networks setup but no internet
New Netgear Nighthawk EAX20 extender, ran setup with wizard, installed fine. Extender found and connected to Motorola MT8733 no problem. Devices connect to extended networks ok, but no internet....

I don't believe you reran setup or it didn't reset properly. (not saying you didn't do it, just something wasn't done right) Reason I say that is the default option when you setup using WPS is the "one wifi" option where it has the same ssid as your router that you're connecting to. Yours is setting up with the _EXT extension. Which isn't default.
What router are you connecting to?
What modem/gateway is the router connected to?
did you go in and set a static ip address?
