I've just changed from Optus to Dodo and I have kept the Optus Ultra WiFi Booster. I want to install linux on a late 2014 Mac mini but linux doesn't have the required drivers for wireless access. I don't have access to ethernet as its in another section of my house. That's why I need to get the wifi booster working so I can plug an ethernet cable in and access the web. It worked great with Optus modem. Is there some settings I can use to enable the Nighthawk AX5 RAX30 to connect with the Optus Ultra WiFi Booster? I don't really want to buy another booster/extender if I can get away with the Optus one? I've tried the reset etc but no luck. Any help greatly appreceated.

Re: Nighthawk AX5 RAX30 and Optus Ultra WiFi Booster
Like @michaelkenward says, the optus is the issue. Its designed to only work with the optus modem/router. Just like how Netgear's orbi satellites (for the most part) only work with orbi routers.
Like @michaelkenward says, the optus is the issue. Its designed to only work with the optus modem/router.
If that is the case, if @julunyeti still has the Optus modem, would it work to use that as an access point as a link to the extender?
But that takes us back to the original point, it ain't down to Netgear's router to work with an Optus device. Go ask them for help in how to get their hardware to work with the Netgear router.
