Fritzbox 7530 AX and Netgear EAX20
Hi, can anyone please tell me if the Fritzbox 7530 AX and the Netgear EAX20 are compatible? Where the Fritzbox is the master / router and the Netgear device is being used as a Wifi extender?

Netgear publishes an installation guide:

And a User Manual:

I would probably start by logging into both the Fritzbox and the EAX20 web management and display the list of "connected devices". I would think they both should show the laptop as connected and having the same IP address.
There are several choices that users make with the EAX20. What 'mode' to be in. Whether to support "one name". Etc.
