Troubleshooting Guidance For Netgear EAX15 Wifi Range Extender
Here are some troubleshooting tips and tricks that will help you in the seamless setup.
- Firstly, the placement plays a very crucial role in the working of the extender. So always make sure there are no physical barriers like thick walls, electrical appliances or metal objects near to the extender. As all these things are capable of interfering with the signals.
- Secondly, make sure your existing router is compatible with the Netgear EAX15 extender. Although this wifi range extender is compatible with almost all the standard routers and gateways. But still we advise you to check the compatibility.
- Next, if you are not able to open the web page for the setup then make sure you are typing in the correct web address. One typing mistake can cause the issue. Further, clear all the browser caches and cookies.
- Further, to resolve minor connectivity issues, you can restart the extender as well as the router. For restarting just unplug everything, wait for about 30 seconds or a minute and then plug everything back. Sometimes a simple kick of restart can fix even the major issues.
- Additionally, always make sure there are no pending firmware updates. As pending updates can reduce the performance of the extender as well as it can be the cause of security issues. So, regularly look for firmware updates if found then install them immediately.
- Lastly, if you aren’t able to access mywifiext.net then alternatively you can use the default IP address. The default IP address for Netgear is 192.168.1.250.
