EAX80 Speedtest
EAX80-AX6000 Extender
I have purchased this extender and was curious to know why I am not be to run the Speedtest using the Nighthawk app?
I am able to run the speedtest for my router using the Nighthawk app, but doesn’t work when I switch to the extender.

I've never tried to run it in the app on and extender. My assumption is because the speedtest actually hosts on the router to get you the best results. LIke I said, the built in test hosts it off the router so it doesn't measure the test from router----device. I'd imagine thats why it doesn't test on the extender. But again, never tried it. I just use the speedtest app.
