How to Connect RangeXTD Booster to Nighthawk AX2400 Router

A sensible way to remove dead zones and improve wireless coverage in places where signal strength usually declines is adding a RangeXTD booster into your network configuration. The RangeXTD is meant to magnify and stretch the current signal coming from your router, thereby offering more consistent connection. Correct configuration of the booster with your Nighthawk AX2400 router will help to guarantee best performance. Whether you choose the rapid WPS approach or a manual setup using the Rangextd app, flawless integration depends on knowing the proper procedures. This manual guides you through the whole process of attaching your RangeXTD booster to the Nighthawk AX2400 router. From device preparation and signal matching to perfect placement, it covers all necessary procedures to guarantee you have the greatest possible network performance with least effort.

Step by Step process to connect: RangeXTD WiFi Booster to Nighthawk AX2400 Router

Step 1: Prep Your Devices

You have to make your system ready before beginning to download anything. For few seconds, unplug your Nighthawk AX2400 and plug it back in. Wait until it completely reboots.

Now, connect your RangeXTD to a power outlet halfway between your router and the spot experiencing poor service. Check that the outlet isn’t brimming with too many gadgets. Here, a direct, pure power supply works best.

Step 2: Reset the RangeXTD (If needed)

Reset the RangeXTD if you have tried all other ways with it before and nothing is working. You can reset it by locating the pinhole, and the little reset button. Now, long press the button for about ten seconds with a paperclip. You are fine to go after the LED light begins to blink.

Step 3: Connect Using WPS (Easiest Method)

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is the easiest method to connect your RangeXTD with the Nighthawk AX2400 router.

Start the process by pressing the WPS button on your Nighthawk AX2400. Now, WPS light will begin blinking. Wait for two minutes, and then press the WPS button on your RangeXTD. Wait for the lights to turn solid indicating that your connection is working now.

This approach works best when two devices are near one another. Now, relocate the RangeXTD near the poor signal region once coupled.

Step 4: Use the Rangextd App (Manual Setup)

 If WPS is not working or your router is not compatible with the WPS button. Your backup is the Rangextd app. Here is how you can do it manually:

1. Download the Rangextd App

Search for the Rangextd via App Store or Google Play. Now download the application

2. Connect to RangeXTD Network

On your device (smartphone or laptop), go to WiFi settings and find an SSID somewhat similar to “RANGEXTD-XXXX,” connect to the RangeXTD network.

3. Open the App

Now follow the on-screen directions given on the app. It looks for accessible networks.

4. Select Your Nighthawk AX2400 Network

Enter the Wi-Fi password after noting the network name of your router

5. Confirm and Finish

The Rangextd app will pause to connect the extender with your router. You’re all set after it confirms the connection.

Step 5: Place It Smartly

Placing the device is the last step once it’s connected to the router. The signals should not be interrupted by thick walls, metal objects, or other electronics items. The RangeXTD is meant to be positioned so that it pushes the strong signal from the Nighthawk AX2400 deeper into dead zones.

Now it’s advised to check the signal strength in areas of your house using various devices. Move the extender little closer to the router if you find the speed of internet slow or there are any lags in the browsing or streaming.

Conclusion

Configuring your RangeXTD WiFi booster with a Nighthawk AX2400 router is not a nightmare. Even if you’re not very tech-savvy, the procedure is really simple and easy whether you’re following the WPS method or installing the Rangextd app.

Patience is the key.  You will have a stronger, more consistent Wi-Fi signal in each and every corner of your house with a steady hand and few minutes of time.

So go ahead and start binge-watching that series in the basement or arrange porch Zoom calls. Now your signal won’t stop on you.

Every time I want to move the booster, do I require the Rangextd app?

Only when you are redoing the configuration or changing routers. You are okay for basic repositioning as long as the connection holds.

Can I run many devices from the RangeXTD booster?

Sure. Any device that is able to connect to Wi-Fi may utilize the RangeXTD network once it is linked to your Nighthawk AX2400 router.
