Netgear EAX20 - AX1800 WiFi Mesh Extender
Hi, I recently purchased a Netgear AX1800 4 Stream WiFi Mesh Extender (EAX20). I have connected the extender to my router by WPS method as all LED lights (except LED Ethernet indicator) are solid white. The problem is I cannot see the extender "NETGEAR_EXT" as as optional network. I have tried many things, such as resetting the Extender, Rebooting my Wifi Router, etc but nothing works. Does anyone have any ideas what i am doing wrong? I know a bit about tech, but am not an expert, so if you could keep your answers in laymans terms that what be appreciated.

Re: Netgear EAX20 - AX1800 WiFi Mesh Extender
When its setup with WPS or the default settings, it sets up in mesh mode. Meaning it'll have the exact same ssid as the primary router does. It doesn't show up as a separate network. If you'd like it separate, you can disable that function.
