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.

Super performing extender music streaming and TV connection s are great, I just bought an AC6600 router to further improve
Orpha Runte (verified owner) –
Bought this extender to replace the EX8000 that I have over a year and half (it quit working). Had it for over a week and so far it is working okay. The set up using the Nighthawk App was little bit complicated – I had to reset the extender to redo it before it recognizes the extender. The unit looks stylish. Hope this one will last longer than the older one.

The setup is completely easy through the app. Once set up, the range is second to none. A must have in every house to ensure no dead spots in and around the house.
Amiya Wisozk (verified owner) –
Definitely boosted my WiFi…if your looking for a boost and wider range worth the money…I tried several boosters that either made my WiFi worse or no boost at all…made the switch and I may never try a product made by a different company for WiFi needs.

Quite simply, this extender does exactly what we needed in our large home. Internet reception was poor in one corner of the house before, but now the coverage is even regardless of where we are. Excellent product from NETGEAR. Not the lowest priced out there, but well worth it.

Little difficult to set up for a non techie but Nextgear support was a great help.

Buy this to replace the default xfinity router. Only need to set the xfinity router to the bridge mode and then the Nighthawk will work, very easy to setup and the wife speed is improved. Cons: when set the smart connect (2.4G & 5G have the same name), the computer at one end of the room is always prefer to connect to the 2.4G, or maybe switching between 2.4G & 5G, this will lead to unstable connection during online meeting. The fact is that although 5G wifi signal is weaker, the internet speed is still much much faster than the 2.4G. So disable the smart connect and use the 5G!

Extending the coverage of my existing Netgear Nighthawk WiFi6 network at home couldn’t have been any easier Turn it on and just follow the instructions in the app. Simple! The coverage is excellent, 5 bars where begire I had 2 B&H had the best price, shipping and customer service, making this the perfect purchase from start to finish

My Generac generator outside my house use to half 12% WiFi until I added the Netgear Nighthawk EAX80 extender and now I have 72%. Wonderful.
Rosalee Robel (verified owner) –
The extender did what I expected, it extended the range of my WiFi and helped offload the stress of the many devices I had on my router by allowing me to plug in to the Lan and have devices diverted to it.
Jessica Zieme (verified owner) –
The EAX80 extender was added to a RAX120 to enhance WiFi performance in a remote room in my basement. After installing the extender, speeds in that area increased from 20 Mbps to close to 200 Mbps.

Excellent product to buy Preformed as advertised easy to setup
Mellie Fahey (verified owner) –
Booster works great but the Nighthawk router is a total waste of money. Bought it to replace my old one and the old one works way better.
Horace Streich (verified owner) –
Tried repeated configuration to run a second (non-Netgear) router with wired connection to Nighthawk router. None worked. Ordered the EAX 80. Worked first try with minimal setup and extends access to over a half acre of lawns and drive.
