EAX20 set up

Hey, I'm a teacher who needs this Extender so I can teach remotely from my Mac.

Downloading the Nighthawk App on my phone didn't help, as it rejected my router? 

I have about half an hour before first class, can't even understand the lengthy directions (they don't seem to be about setting up).

Can I just plug this puppy in and go?

Thanks,

Noob3000

    What router are you connecting it to? 

    Have you tried connecting a laptop/pc to it via an ethernet connection for setup? Just make sure to disable/shut off the wifi on the device your connect via ethernet. 

    You can find manuals and install guides here:
