Re: EAX20 AX1800 how can I change the security type
If you set it up using wps, it uses the same security of your router.
You can factory reset and extender and reinstall it using the installation assistant if you'd like.
Check the security on your router as well.

Re: EAX20 AX1800 how can I change the security type
I found that with my current Netgear Router (R6700AX) set with WPA3, WPS will not connect, even when I use a direct Ethernet connection. The Router does not see it. When I demote Router to "No Security" and WPS, the extender is seen and I can log in to the extender setup. I left the Ethernet connected during the initial setup.
(BTW, the login that worked for me: http://mywifiext.local/start.htm

)
After logging in to the extender, I just used the SMART Setup and made sure I answered the One Name, etc. Same PW, etc.
When all done, your status may show that the 2.4 GHz not enabled/connected. Don't worry. If you say "Yes" to all the available options, your extender will broadcast and decided the best avenue/connection wherever you put the extender.
In my house the router is on one side and the extender gave me over 100 megabits/s, 40' away - doubling what I had. Not gaming speed, but happy for streaming videos and I didn't have to relocate the router.
Happy.
