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.

This is a replacement for an extender that we loved, but it was older and just quit working. So far we love this new one even more than the last! Love the “mesh” coverage and that I don’t have to switch networks in different parts of my house.
Ruby Harvey (verified owner) –
Works just as advertised. Brought a hopeless WiFi connection to life

The only regret I have with this purchase is not making it sooner! It makes a lot of difference with my wifi accessibility throughout my 2100 sq foot house.

I like Netgear products. I like your approach to security in terms of software simplification and advanced technologies you bring to home users. I was hoping to overcome my blind spot problems in my less than 1000 square feet apartment in NYC. But, unfortunately the experiences has not been what I expected. I expected not a single event where I have no internet or any delays. I still experiencing these events through out the day. I am hoping I can resolve these intermitted problems and get a nice sustained link from by bedroom.

Did not extend my WiFi did not work at all tried everything, rest, reconnect nothing worked
Raquel Lind (verified owner) –
i buy this router because the specification was incredible, but its the worst router that i have ever.
Xander Abshire (verified owner) –
This extender works like a charm. No more dead spots in my house. Extra points for the app. It makes it a lot easier to handle devices, guest network and parental control.

I haven’t noticed much improvement using this WiFi mesh booster paired with my AX8 WiFi modem. The sad part is my house is only 2,500 sqf. When I run the speed test in my AX8 I’m hitting around 350mbps but on average my EAX80 is between 60-100mbps. I sort of hoped the whole setup (AX8 EAX80) costing around $900 would perform better together.

Have had it since it came out and doesn’t play nice with my RAXE500.
Christelle Hayes (verified owner) –
Works well. Programming a home and a guest network is difficult. I am not able to get the 5GHz option programed either
Sonny Parker (verified owner) –
It was easy to set up and effectively extends WiFi to former dead areas
Maggie Hansen (verified owner) –
Product works just as described. Increased the range of my WiFi 6 network. No dead spots in my home anymore.
Leone Green (verified owner) –
I recently bought the NightHawk EAX80 extender after looking up so recommended ones and this one was hands down the best one in other peoples experiences. It was a bit out of my budget, but I do not regret it at all. I mean over 2000 square feet of coverage and multiple devices added on? I game quite a bit so this was a match made in heaven!
Arlie Walker (verified owner) –
Great product! easy setup, greatly increases range.
Rozella Jacobs (verified owner) –
Could not reliably connect devices to the unit. This hardware seemed to make my network much slower.
Adolfo Klein (verified owner) –
Installation instructions are very confusing. Thank God for you tube!! I am hooking up to xfinity cable and Internet. Getting 151 mbps and have extended my range a lot. I still haven’t been able to figure out how to put it into access point mode. Had real problems connecting with the mobile app. For now however I am thankful for the extended range
Trystan Satterfield (verified owner) –
I like the extender still having issues every now and again dropping signal but over all good extender
Willow Dickinson (verified owner) –
I have this tethered to my Starlink router because the router is pretty weak in power out. This extender gives me outstanding coverage out to about 3500sq ft. Highly recommend.
Keon Aufderhar (verified owner) –
It was easy to set up and so far I have no problem with it. I noticed I had more bars on my phone than before.
Norwood Gislason (verified owner) –
I live in a 2 story 6 bedroom house and ive been having trouble getting wifi all through the house until i got this extender.
