To set up the NETGEAR EAX12 WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender, follow these steps:

1. Connect the extender: Plug the EAX12 into a power outlet near your existing router.

2. Connect to the extender's WiFi network: Use your PC or mobile device to connect to the WiFi network of the extender. You can find the network name (SSID) and password on the label of the extender.

3. Access the extender's setup page: Open a web browser on your connected device and enter "192.168" or "mywifiext.net" in the address bar. Press Enter.

4. Set up the extender: On the setup page, click on "NEW EXTENDER SETUP" and follow the on-screen instructions. You will need to select the admin credentials for your extender and set up security questions.

6. Configure the extender: Once the extender is connected to your router, you can configure it by accessing the extender's settings through the web browser. Enter "admin" as the username and password when prompted. Click on "LAN IP Setup" under Advanced and change the IP address to "192.168".
