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.

practically all my wifi system are NetGear, from the Nighthawk 9700 series main router to range extenders including this model, I love their products.

I was a little hesitant because this extender was out of my price range but we have our router inside the house and I have a computer set up in our garage. It boosted the signal from a sad 11 to 89 for download speeds. It’s amazing. Buy it. Do it. We live in the future!

Love my extender. I have a large property and not only does it push the internet from the middle floor to the above floor and basement but I get it outside as well. And have many devices connected to it at the same time and it’s great!

I have multiple devices connected and have not had any dropped connections. I got this mainly for the TV that have Fire Sticks connected. I went from a marginal signal to very good signal. The main TV (4k) now streams without dropping or pausing the program content. The ability to stream to multiple devices (4) without it interfering with each other is a big plus.

I’ve had issues with wifi performance since I’ve moved into my new place. It’s 2,500 sq feet and 2 levels. It’s not an open floor plan so every room is separated by walls. I’ve tried the smaller 300mb extenders from NETGEAR and while they did ok I was still not able to stream multiple instances of live video at all upstairs while hardwired into my smaller extender. With the nighthawk extender I can stream 3+ instances of live sports video without any buffering. And I have 0 dead spots in my home it’s well worth whatever price it’s sold for.

I needed a extender that has good reliable distance, Netgear is a reliable name and they have this (EAX80). It preforms well and meets all my needs for my Wifi mesh.
Carlos O’Connell (verified owner) –
Would definitely recommend this product and more NETGEAR products as well

I recently purchased a Wi-Fi 6 router and I decided to replace an old Netgear extender (AC1950) which had an issue where a light burned out. I’ve been looking for a good extender for a replacement and I decided I would try out the EAX80. One of the reasons I went with this product was reviewing the specs and seeing how much more network bandwidth this could support over the other similar model the EAX20. Having it plugged in under my desk and using it via ethernet, it has exceeded all of my expectations and I am getting faster speeds than with the old extender. This extender basically makes it so I can attain next-to-router speeds almost anywhere in my house. I would definitely recommend this extender and other Netgear extenders I’ve purchased over the last few years as they have always exceeded my expectations and have been compatible with differing routers.

Switched to this system to get better range so we could use Wi-Fi in our shop and this did the job!
Robin Ferry (verified owner) –
Has definately improved our internet throughout the house. Now everyone is more satisfied.
Marjory Lang (verified owner) –
While it has improved some signals, I still have wireless devices on the same 2.4G network in the same room as the extender and the connection isn’t any better.
Eldon Davis (verified owner) –
I need help with my extender on adding devices and second user and all i get is go to this site or this one. What happened to a human assisting with a issue And then as soon as you dont help you send out a survey. It seems surveys are more important than assisting a customer who paid for the product and needs HELP

The EAX80 Mesh Range Extender Set Up Was Easy. I Connected to my Nighhawk AX 8 Router with Ease.Works Great With The Nighthawk App.
Sarai Konopelski (verified owner) –
This was easy to set up and covers the whole house
Stephon Conroy (verified owner) –
This thing extends the life of my router. I have more bandwidth, more range and it’s so easy to set up. I’m very happy with this product!
Roel Hessel (verified owner) –
Seems to work great. Picks up a really weak signal
Rico Hoeger (verified owner) –
I was worried that connecting via an extension will take same bandwidth away, but not with this router. The extension is around 50 ft apart with two floor in between, still the connection is good.
Magnolia Champlin (verified owner) –
The Nighthawk is a very good product that has changed my whole wifi experience.
