Description
Enhance your 802.11ax Wi-Fi coverage by using the Netgear EAX80 Nighthawk AX8 Wi-Fi 6 Dual-Band Wireless Range Extender to create a mesh network. The Nighthawk AX8 has four internal antennas and works with your existing router by using the same network name (SSID), allowing for seamless switching between devices as you move without having to disconnect and reconnect to the wireless network. Compatible devices can reach speeds of up to 1.2 Gb/s using the 2.4 GHz band and 4.8 Gb/s across the 5 GHz band, allowing for reliable high-speed connections for streaming 4K video, playing games, connecting smart home devices, and more throughout your home. OFDMA technology allows for optimized data transmission for up to eight devices at the same time while four-stream MU-MIMO support enables up to four 1 x 1 devices to stream content simultaneously.
For those who haven’t upgraded yet, this range extender supports previous Wi-Fi standards such as 802.11ac. Four Gigabit Ethernet ports are also available to connect wired devices such as smart televisions, computers, and video game consoles. There is also a USB 3.0 port to connect compatible storage drives and share photos, videos, documents, and other files across the network. Downloading the Nighthawk mobile app allows you to configure the Nighthawk AX8’s settings.

I purchase a new EAX80 to help extend the signal from my also newly purchased AXE7800. These two devices combined provide the perfect coverage for all of my needs. Very stable and strong signal around the house, garage, front and back yard. And with the one network option I don’t have to jump from from one SSID to another. This is exactly what I was looking to accomplish. Now I can stream videos anywhere.

did not work for me nothing would connect to it only device was an new google nest mini. Older devices did not like i. I returned it. and bought a mesh system much better.

Easy to set up and was more powerful than my router. It sends excellent signal throughout my house and into the yard.

No dead spots throughout my home (2,000 sq/ft). Does not make wifi faster nor does it claim to ( like some other products.)
Grace Hickle (verified owner) –
After easy installation, the improvement was right away, highly recommended.

We bought this to go with our Netgear Nighthawk RAX80 router. Very easy setup to link the two. On the app if you want to view the devices connected to the extender network you must first log into the router and set up a user name and password. Then take those credentials and login through the app and everything will work. To log into router was a trick, first no VPN on, then http://www.mywifi.net should do it. Also we have used the Ethernet connect for a desktop into the extender and the speeds are fantastic. Once again expensive but worth the money especially since now we have a great mesh network and no longer have to change network connections, it along with the router do it behind the scenes to manage traffic and the extender supporta Wi-Fi 6 so that helps even more.

Instructions are not too clear. Called customer support, receive great customer service and step-by-step instructions to set up. Once connected, coverage is great! Bought for a wireless security cameras and connection improved instantly. Also, improved wifi connection for TV and all other items in house. It’s worth the money!

The extender takes a few days to run smoothly but once it does it provides awesome extended ranges and the same speeds as the source.

After the firmware update .. it connects like a charm and extends the one SSID seamlessly. It is not as easy as google mesh but once connected experience much faster speeds and low latency. and more importantly noticible less drain on device batteries due to wifi 6

This is the best extender I’ve ever owned! It even reaches to my unattached garage. Amazing!
Annie Goyette (verified owner) –
We have our main modem/router combo on one side of the house, so we had terrible dead spots on the opposite side. This solved the issue! The only problem was getting it to work on the iOS Nighthawk app, but it isn’t necessary after you manage to get it set up.

Extender was easy to setup and provides seamless mesh coverage with the Netgear wi-fi router.

Adding this extender has taken care of any signal loss areas of my house! No more poor signal, and couldn’t be happier!
Amos Torphy (verified owner) –
Product has worked as advertised. Setup was simple with the Nighthawk app. I am now able to support the additional security devices that are on the other side of the house.
