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 thought this would extend my WiFi to my garage that is 40 feet away from my house and it doesn’t. Kind of disappointing for the money.

It works. Extended range to places Wi-Fi didn’t reach before. No issues with multiple devices.

Finally! I can get stable, fast wi-fi all over my house without having different wi-fi’s to log into. Yay!

I installed the extender to help with the WiFi signal in our home. Worked like a charm! I can even get good signal strength outside now.

This is the 3 rd different type of Extender I purchased but it’s the first one that really worked it has incredible speed and range and definitely an overall better Wi-Fi experience thank you Netgear for creating the nighthawk mesh extender

I placed the extender downstairs to reach our living room. This is the only device that allows me to stream shows with no buffering. Good product.

The device was very easy to set up and took very little time. It is sleek and minimal so it’s not in the way. It’s allowed me to stream ESPN without buffering anymore. Only issue is when we had a storm but its likely the wifi itself not the extender

These units have lots of known issues with reliability, especially at 5GHZ. Main issue is intermittent connectivity drops. Just check NetGear’s own support forum and you will see what I mean. I’m sad I bought it and would not recommend. Try a different device – my old Netgear AX1900 was really good.

Slow internet. App does not fully function. Returning this and going with a reliable product as every couple days or hours have to reboot to work.

Setup for the Nighthawk was a breeze and it all works well. Purchased and set up an extender too.

Between my SX10 AX8 and this AX80 my house has full coverage in every room. It was a very easy setup using WPS. I couldn’t ask for a better Mesh WiFi Extender. Thanks Netgear!

Amazing wifi throughout large house with this product. Wish Nighthawk app worked though….

I have had this extender for about 2 years now and it has worked wonderfully. I use this for a wired connection on my pc while the extender connect to the home wifi. The fact that I get incredible speeds from both its 2.4 and 5ghz…. if one fails the other picks it up never loosing connection was a nice surprise for me. For wifi devices its works just like any other router and easy to set up and connect.

I thought the ax12 looked like a Star Wars shuttle which made me fall in love with it in the first place and now the extender is even cooler looking. The performance of the 2 together is unparalleled. There are no gaps in my 4 story home and I have over 50 can extend devices between tablets lights and computers. Great job

Another great product from Netgear. This meshing range extender found my nighthawk and dual band network with no issue. The app is easy to use, just be patient. The setup takes a little time. It has increased our streaming speed and removed our at home business interruption. Great product.
