Extremely Easy Setup With The Nighthawk App
As we said, Netgear AX1600 WiFi mesh Extender Setup is extremely easy. Here’s how you can set it up within minutes.
- Firstly, place the range extender in the same location as your host router. Make sure there are no physical obstacles like walls, electrical or metal objects near to the router. As it can lead to interference with the signals.
- Secondly, plug in the AX1600 range extender into an electrical outlet. Switch it on. Make sure the supply of electricity is uncut and proper. Now, wait for the power LED on the extender to turn solid green. As solid green light indicates that the extender is powered on.
- Further, take any device of your choice like your smartphone, computer or laptop. Go to its wifi settings. In the list of available networks look for the network name Netgear_EXT. Click on it to connect the device to the extender’s wifi network.
- Now, on the same device, download the Netgear Nighthawk app. The Nighthawk app is available on both The Play Store as well as on App Store. Finally, open the app and start following the on-screen prompts to complete the setup process.
- Once the setup is all done, unplug the extender and move it to a new location. It should be halfway from the router and the area where the connectivity was poor. Plug in the range extender and power it on. Again check the power LED to know if it is working properly or not. Further to check whether the placement is correct or not check the color of the router LED. It should be solid green, in case it is amber or red then move the extender closer to the router. Keep moving until it turns solid green.
Finally, Test The Connection
Lastly, test the connection by connecting your devices to the new network. The new network will have _EXT added at the last. Go to the area where the signals were earlier poor and start streaming anything on the device. Finally, check the client link LED on the extender. If it has a solid green light then it means your setup is completely successful and the connection is best.
