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.

The range and speed are both excellent and the mesh functionality has been flawless throughout my house using this one extender off of my primary router.

THIS SEEMS TO HELP MY WIFI BE STRONGER ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Malachi Stehr (verified owner) –
So I’ve had the device for about weeks now and I love it. I’m a hard-core gamer and I also stream so it’s important to have a good connection. I live in a back house and I’m pretty far from the router in the main house. I Google the best extender and the nighthawk came up. So I bought it and it changed my life. I’m no longer disconnecting or dropping out of my games or streams. My gf also connects her work devices to the wifi while I play and we are both able to run wifi seamlessly with no drop outs. I would highly recommend this device to anyone that has a router that’s pretty far or not centralized in your house.

Increased the Internet speed to computer connected by eithernet cable to EAX80 and connection to Nest Cam more stable.

Works great. I have all brick walls in every room and was amazed it extends as far as it does.
Adrien Lakin (verified owner) –
The EAX80 wifi extender was easy to install and immediately boosted my upstairs internet speed from ~40 Mbps to over 300 Mbps using ethernet cable. We also have another unit for our basement, great addition!

Got it to shoot WiFi to my barn does ok need another
Elinor Gleason (verified owner) –
The EAX80 works as intended. I bought this unit to boost my WiFi in other parts of my house that where getting a weak signal. It not only did that but can now get WiFi around my property, which is about 1 acre.
Karolann Bednar (verified owner) –
The extender was easy to set up with the NetGear app. The WiFi coverage has expanded as expected.
Celestino Orn (verified owner) –
Bought a WiFi extender because we have a 3000 sq foot house and my room is in the second floor so we weren’t getting a lot of data plus it was dropping. Once I put this upstairs in my room, my WiFi is at 900s speeds now! I absolutely love it and recommend it

We needed better coverage across the house – this extender did the trick!
Louisa Baumbach (verified owner) –
Easy set up and connected to my AX12 quickly but after a week is suddenly having problems connecting to router at top speed and is slowing devices connecting to it. Speedtest app is showing a massive slowing.
Domenic Effertz (verified owner) –
We had the previous version of this extended that took a lightning hit. I am very particular of what i put in my network. this device by far has the furthest range and highest speeds we have seen so far. Thank you netgear for creating such an awesome network range extender.
Caroline Considine (verified owner) –
One of the easiest setups ever for a mesh network. With the app, I now have a great visibility into how my service s performing.
Stephan Lehner (verified owner) –
This extender was amazingly easy to install and setup using the app. I completed the setup in a few minutes and I was ready to go!! I plugged my VOIP phone into the port and it worked immediately with great voice quality. My wi-fi devices picked up a better signal since my home office is a good distance from the main router. Overall, this was a great purchase.

Easy to setup through the App. Fast connection speeds.
