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 got this to boost my wifi experience as my fiber optic router is downstairs, and my bedroom is upstairs. Set up was easy through the app, and I was able to place the extender immediately upstairs afterwards. I don’t experience wifi issues during gameplay as I have this extender hooked up via Ethernet to my PS5.

This device has totally eliminated my wifi coverage issues. My ISP router is located on 2nd floor of my house, was receiving extremely poor signal in the basement (man cave). I tried a costly extender from my ISP, but this did not solve the problem. With the EAX80, I can now stream seamlessly. Beautiful!

Yet another solid product from NETGEAR. Added this to my netgear router to solve my network thin zone as kids moved home temporarily and bandwidth was being fully used. Highly recommend

It didn’t help me only made my connection slower.. maybe my town house isn’t big enough to even justify having it but it was a breeze to set up and looked great
Mia Farrell (verified owner) –
This product was very easy to install and I’m impressed how greatly it improved the WiFi sped in the back end of my house. I now have true gig speed throughout my whole home even when everyone is on their devices and streaming.

I’m not an IT person. It was relatively painless to setup. Does what it needs to do. Primarily got it to use with a Synology. Works well.
Marco Aufderhar (verified owner) –
Easy to install and it eliminated issues with dropped Zoom calls and internet instability on my work computer that was located far away from my router.
Larissa Cassin (verified owner) –
Had cheaper WiFi extenders that simply weren’t up to the task. The EX80 is more than capable and easily streams all of my external security cameras

Moved into a bigger house and realized my Nighthawk XR500, while great, wasn’t able to adequately reach across the entire house, garage, and all the floors. I have been in the market for an extender and got the EAX80 during Prime Day. Now that I have it, I can’t imagine ever living without it. I have great signal on the balcony, in the backyard, the front yard, and even in the garage through steel doors. Great Product.

Bought for 5th wheel that sits 100 feet behind the house and it works great
Emerald Nienow (verified owner) –
Setup was a piece of cake with One Name. I was up and running in no time at all. Great coverage, fast speeds, easy to navigate the admin menu. I could not be more pleased with this product.
Otha Schaefer (verified owner) –
The setup for the EAX80 Mesh Range Extender was really easy using the Nighthawk App. Configuring the network was easy as well. I have been able to connect an additional 10 mobile devices to the network without connection issues or loss in connection speeds. The extender also converts an AC router into a WiFi 6 connection. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Man, all it took was about 1 minute to set up with the mywifi.net URL. Didn’t even try the other two methods. Super fast with great range!
Mozell Wolf (verified owner) –
Did not set up correctly through the app. Called customer service they helped me set it up and its been working like a champ ever since. Just like having another router. Speeds the same all over the area now.
