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.

We recently purchased this extender for our house. The upstairs is large and with the kids enrolled in on-line learning this extender allows all of us to enjoy wi-fi at incredible speed!

I didn’t fully understand what this was and how it worked. The documentation did not really explain what it did and why it had the “One name” system. I had to look at website to get the full meaning of this product. I love this extender and it works very well. I only gave it 4 stars because of what Netgear explained in the product box. The product itself is a 5 out of 5 stars.

I called support to get help twice. I was told it wasn’t a mesh system and it needs to have a clear line of sight to work correctly? It does work, but the indicator lights say that it is not working.

Working great with the AC1750 R6700v3 router. However, I would recomend pairing with the AX series and up.
Lurline Schmitt (verified owner) –
We were able to add a camera outside for our dog kennels. Before that we couldn’t even get a signal.
Geovanni Boyer (verified owner) –
Setup was pretty straight forward and so far I’m enjoying Wi-Fi all over my home.

I have used other Netgear extender’s and this one is a quantum leap in it’s a set up and signal strength. I have numerous security cameras in my system and this extender handles them all. Good job.
Myrna Upton (verified owner) –
I needed a new range extender for my wireless security cameras and this works perfect.
Carli Haley (verified owner) –
I have a really hard time getting good signal in my room down stairs, and I have tried a lot of extenders even gaming ones but the signal in my room now is just a little slower then the wifi upstairs (and the extender is connected by wifi not hardware)
Rogers Willms (verified owner) –
I was having trouble with with connections in the back part of my house and ever since I got the extender I have not had one issue. It literally took longer to download the app then to set it up. Great product easy set up.
Carmella Bode (verified owner) –
The EAX is a significant improvement over my previous extenders. In addition you get the benefits of a common login throughout the house. I was a little disappointed in the wireless connection to my cable modem, so I set it up as wired access point.

Nighthawk mesh solved my streaming issues. signal much better now!
Gertrude Leannon (verified owner) –
This is a great product, even without a wifi 6 router it still helps extend the wifi across a house. looking forward to getting a wifi 6 router to take full advantage of this product. setup was a breeze.
Rita Johnson (verified owner) –
set it up across the house, so can provide internet to my outbuilding- strong enough signal for the Smart TV
Kimberly Baumbach (verified owner) –
This model was not compatible with my current router. I may try another model if my code is honored
Savanah Stiedemann (verified owner) –
Love it so much! I live in a trailer and am unable to get WiFi installed so the extender has really saved me!!
Iliana Harris (verified owner) –
I had a “dead zone” that drove me crazy for years, this fixed it immediately, easy to install and great power
Dayana Hilpert (verified owner) –
From unboxing to connecting, this is as a very user friendly device. I was able to extend my WiFi range to boost every area that was lacking. Very happy with this product, and I would definitely recommend to a friend.

Had a Linksys and it did not do the job required. The Netgear Kighthawk reaches out to all rooms.

Much better performance and consistent connectivity than EX8000 model.
