To secure your NETGEAR AX1600 extender, ensure that your router’s WiFi security setting is compatible. The extender cannot connect to routers with WPA enterprise, WPA2 enterprise, or WEP security settings. Change the router's WiFi security to a supported mode (such as WPA2-Personal or WPA3-Personal). Then, follow these steps:
1. Install the Extender: Set up the extender using the installation assistant, Nighthawk app, or WPS method. 2. Access Extender Settings: Log in to the extender’s web interface to configure security settings. 3. Set a Strong Password: Use a strong, unique password for both the extender and its WiFi network. 4. Firmware Updates: Keep the extender’s firmware up to date for the latest security patches.
Avoid disabling wireless security settings to maintain a secure connection.
