How to Connect RangeXTD Booster to ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX600?

You can connect your RangeXTD booster with any router with WPS or without WPS. It is pretty easy and simple with the help of the user-friendly interface of the RangeXTD. Here, we will guide you to connect RangeXTD booster to ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX600 with the help of a few steps.

Check ASUS ROG Rapture GT-AX600 Settings

Log in. search the IP 192.168.50.1 or URL asusrouter.com in your browser. If you changed it, you know the drill, check your gateway IP. Username/password, same as you set up (hopefully not admin/admin, please).

Once you’re in, the homepage hits you with the Game Dashboard. Flashy graphs, CPU load, network ping stats.

Settings worth checking:

• Wireless Settings: Go to Wireless under Advanced Settings. Make sure 2.4GHz and 5GHz are split with different SSIDs. Trust me, it saves a ton of headaches when you’re forcing devices onto the faster band.
• AiProtection: It’s under the AiProtection tab (obviously). Worth toggling on if you want the built-in malware/spyware blocking.
• QoS / Game Boost: QoS can be useful, but I found the Game Boost option just prioritizes random stuff and doesn’t always help. If you’re hardcore gaming, manual QoS setup works better.
• WAN: Double check if you’re on PPPoE or DHCP, depending on your ISP.
• Administration > Firmware Upgrade: Do this. ASUS pushes updates but sometimes they lag. Manual check is faster.

Via WPS

• Pick an outlet somewhere near your router first. Don’t stick it halfway across the house yet. You want it close for the first setup. Lights should start blinking after a second.
• Find the WPS button on your router. Every router is different. Usually, it’s on the front or side. Sometimes you got to hold it for 2–3 seconds, not just a quick tap.
• Press WPS on the router. Hold it down until you see the router’s WPS light blink. That means it’s in pairing mode.
• Now press the WPS button on the RangeXTD. Press and hold until the WPS light on the booster starts blinking. Usually 30–60 seconds. The booster will try to handshake with the router.
• Watch the lights. If it worked, the RangeXTD’s signal or WiFi light should go solid. If it just keeps blinking forever and nothing changes, repeat the steps. Sometimes routers are picky and you got to hit the timing just right.
• Move the booster. Once it’s paired, unplug it and move it to the spot you actually want it about halfway between your router and the dead zone. If you stick it too far, it’ll just flash at you because it can’t reach the router anymore.
• Test the connection. Grab your phone or laptop, look for the new WiFi network. It usually copies your router’s name but adds “_EXT” or something like that. Connect, check the speed, walk around. Done.

Via Interface

• On your phone or laptop, check WiFi. You should see something like RangeXTD-XXXX. Connect to that. There’s no password at this stage.
• Just open a browser and type this in the address bar: 192.168.7.234. Hit enter. You’ll reach the RangeXTD login interface.
• Default user and pass are both admin. You’ll see options like “Repeater” or “Router.” For boosting your existing WiFi, choose Repeater Mode.
• It’ll show you a list of available networks. Pick your router’s WiFi. Enter your actual WiFi password. Make sure you type it right.
• By default, it usually copies your router’s WiFi name but adds “_EXT” at the end. Example: if your WiFi is HomeNet, the booster will broadcast HomeNet_EXT. You can rename it if you want.
• Hit save/apply. The booster will reboot. Takes like a minute or two. Your phone might disconnect during this. That’s normal.
• Once it’s back, you should see your extended network (HomeNet_EXT). Connect to it with the same WiFi password as your router.
• Now unplug it and stick it halfway between your router and the dead zone. Not too far, not too close. If the signal bars on the booster are weak, move it closer to the router.
