Connect RangeXTD Booster to Nighthawk RAX200 Router

These are the major steps to complete to the Rangextd setup which are provided by the experts.

Step 1: Plug in the RangeXTD

Plug it into a wall outlet close to the RAX200, like within the same room. Don’t stick it across the house yet. You’ll just create problems for yourself later.

Wait for it to boot up. You’ll see a power light and then the WiFi light should start blinking. If it doesn’t? Unplug it, wait 10 secs, plug it back in. These things are kind of temperamental.

Step 2: Connect to the RangeXTD Setup Network

On your phone or laptop, go to your WiFi list. You should see something like:

• “RangeXTD” or “RangeXTD-Setup” or even just some random open network with “EXT” in it.
• Connect to it. No password. Once you’re on that, open a browser and type in: 192.168.7.234
• If neither works, try clearing your DNS cache or just use a different device. (My phone worked after my laptop refused.)

Step 3: Go Through the Setup Wizard

You’ll hit the RangeXTD setup page. Hit “Repeater Mode” (NOT AP mode). It’ll scan for nearby WiFi networks.

You’ll see your Nighthawk RAX200 listed (probably two: one for 2.4GHz and one for 5GHz). Pick one. If you’re just looking for solid range, go with 2.4GHz—it travels farther. If you want max speed and you’re still within range, go 5GHz.

Enter your RAX200 WiFi password. Then it’ll ask you to name the extended network just leave it the same or tack on “-EXT” or whatever. Click connect. It’ll take a bit.

Step 4: Reconnect to the New Network

• Once the RangeXTD reboots, it’ll drop you off the config page. Now, check your WiFi list again.
• You should see a network with the name you set—like “MyWiFi-EXT” or whatever you chose.
• Connect to that. Enter your main WiFi password (same one you used earlier).
• You’re now riding through the RangeXTD Setup network in your home.
