Connect EAX12 Extender to Netgear RAX10 Router
Here are the steps that you can apply to connect your devices in a flash:
Keep Your Devices Closer
To connect your WiFi range extender and router, the first thing that you need to do is to keep your devices in reach of each other. For this, you have to plug them in closer. Just in case, you don’t have 2 wall sockets closer for your devices to plug them in, then you can install a wall socket more or make use of an extension cord.
In the event, it is impossible for installing one more wall socket or using an extension cord, then you can choose a place (somewhere in your house) where you can find two wall sockets, not pretty closer, but at a distance of 20-30 feet.
Now, try connecting your EAX12 extender to Netgear RAX10 router to see if you rack up success.
Opt for Ethernet Source
On the off chance, you are unable to get success with the process, then try using an Ethernet source. Keep in mind, for connecting your devices using a wired source, you must keep your device pretty closer, probably on the same table. And, once you are done with it, take a working Ethernet cable and insert its one end into your Netgear RAX10 router and other end into your EAX12 extender.
No Luck?
What happened? You are already using a wired source for making a connection between the devices? Yes? It means that the Ethernet/ wired connection between them is loose. So, what you have to do – disconnect your devices, wait for a few minutes (approx 4-5 minutes), and try connecting your devices again. This time, kindly ensure that the connection is finger tight.
Try accessing the router login page now to see if the Ethernet connection established between the devices is successful or not.
