EAX20 Mesh Extender stuck during setup
Trying to setup an EAX20 extender to go along with our CAX30 modem/router using the latest version of the Nighthawk iOS app.
Every time I had tried to do so, the EAX20 gets stuck on trying to connect to the 5G signal (screenshot attached). I had left this overnight in the past and no luck.
I have tried closing the app and restarting the process but then the app is unable to join NETGEAR_EXT network to even initiate the process. I have to reset the extender to attempt again but get stuck at connecting to 5G each time.
Please help! Thanks!

Did you try setting it up using wps?
Or try using the browser based installation assistant?
