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.

Solved my problem: allows my router to reach my guest house! Been having this issue for two years so very happy indeed! Saved me from having to rent the cable equipment forever.

Worked great the first day with all my devices flawlessly. Now everyday after that has been a daunting task. Having to reconnect most of my devices daily and then they don’t want to connect because the device can’t be found. It’s now just sitting there unplugged

I got my EAX80 to support outdoor security devices and eliminate dead zones. It’s great and we now have strong connections across our property.

This product is really good .. the signals are so strong and is so easy the installation. Works like a mesh . You have the option to use the same name for you original wifi. I test the speed and the degradation is so minimal. I recommend 100%

I went through two Wi-Fi extenders from other brand until i finally found what worked. This one. This has the range, and the capacity to handle lots of data. Handles my gig of internet. Very happy with this purchase. Frustrated with myself that I didn’t just didn’t pull the pin on this one originally.if you’re thinking about what to get, don’t go other cheaper alternatives. Get This. It’s great.

Super easy to set up, and works great and consistent, I’m using it to extend the range of my wireless Internet, I’m happy report that the Netgear Nighthawk WiFi Mesh Range Extender (EAX80) is doing an outstanding performance.

The extender was very easy to setup and use the existing SSID.

Was able to integrate with my Nighthawk AX12 (RAX200) without much fuss. Has been working fine for about a month now.

Quick install, with a Netgear WiFi router and wow, fast secure and outdoor stuff all works way better. Sprinkler controller never worked better. Had four extenders from Apple, this is better. Enjoy the speed, works with 1 Gig down and 40 Megs up.

It’s not worth buying it it’s too hard to install and too much time consuming I’m going to return mine
Edd Hodkiewicz (verified owner) –
Installed this a couple of weeks ago to reach the far corners of the house. So far is working is as intended. Great signal throughout the house, seamless and transparent. It was a little buggy on the set up, but I think it was the Nighthawk app for iPhone causing three tries. A little pricy for what it does, but great so far.

I’ve used other WIFI extenders in the past and the Nighthawk WiFi 6 is by far the best and only product that actually works! No more lost connections while streaming and dropped calls in my house. This product is definitely worth the money.

It was easy to set up and effectively extends WiFi to former dead areas
Eusebio Bergnaum (verified owner) –
Easy setup, decent range and works well with My other Netgear.
Reid O’Reilly (verified owner) –
I use this as a perfect wireless network extender that connects directly to the WAP on my router. The WAP connected to my router is really fast, but doesnt have great coverage. Thats where the Mesh Range Extender from NETGEAR comes in. It extends my wifi capabilities (and adds wifi 6!) to the point where all my devices get over 200 mbps (from 20mbps) with gigabit ethernet.

My 8000 is in my home office which is in the far north corner of the house. The family room with the ROCU is 4 walls and 50 feet away. The reception was only good enough for 1080 viewing. I added the halfway between and we now have 4K witheout issue.
Valentine Abshire (verified owner) –
Added this extender to my home network to resolve dead spot connection. Inside of 15 minutes, up and running and no more dead spots.
Daisy Turcotte (verified owner) –
I hope it is fine I am 77 years old and it took me a while to understand how to set it up .
Emilie Fay (verified owner) –
Have to constantly unplug and reset for continuous signal. For some reason it always stops. Net gear has a horribly short warranty of 6 months and good luck getting help after that.
