CAX80

[ArmyofKarens]

Trying to get the dual band AX3000 mesh wifi extender system set up to my existing CAX80, I can see the mesh network name but I'm required to sign in after using the original password. The nighthawk app won't complete the set up for my AX3000 router or satellites. Consider me a newcomer to the world of networking. Any help is appreciated

What mesh extender did you get? AX3000 is a speed, not a model. And you put router and satellites so it makes me curious if you're trying to attach a full mesh system like orbi to it or a simple extender. 

If its simply an extender, you could always try using wps. 

Or using the installation assistant. 

I'd factory reset the extender and set it up using the installation assistant.

To factory reset, push and hold the reset button for 7-15 seconds while powered on. 

Here's a video of how to use the assistant.
