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 easy to set up using the Nighthawk app. Fantastic range! Just needed a boost to my WiFi to get a better signal while out in the balcony of my apartment building but now I get a signal all the way from the parking lot! Very very pleased.
Yesenia McClure (verified owner) –
This extender was easy to set up with the app and there are now no dead zones in the house. Perfect if you have a lot of devices as well.
Bryon Bednar (verified owner) –
Works perfectly to get signal to a detached coach house.
Raegan Schimmel (verified owner) –
Set up with the Netgear App was quick and painless. I’m able to connect my neat camera several yards away from the house now! It’s been very stable.
Antone Kautzer (verified owner) –
This product was super easy to install, especially with the app. Would recommend to any one that is in the market!
Chloe Yundt (verified owner) –
Easy to setup and connect to my existing router. Successfully added coverage to dead spots in my house.
Rubye Borer (verified owner) –
I is a great extended and does boost my hotspot signal really well. But I have a problem with it not staying connected. So right now it’s not being used until I figure out why but happy with everything else.
Naomie Schmitt (verified owner) –
This extender is a decent one. It supports mesh mode. It does sometimes lose connectivity to wifi 6 or the usb devices connected to it and needs to be frequently restarted. This is annoying. Other than that, it is a pretty nice unit and works well.
Hanna Thompson (verified owner) –
Best extender that I’ve tried in my network. I bought 2 of these extenders because I have over 4000 sq ft to cover and I need ethernet ports in each location. They resolved my dropout issues for high end high resolution music streaming. I highly recommend AX80 extender.
Delaney Ferry (verified owner) –
Awesome range extender and very easy setup with the nighthawk app also really like that the range extender keeps your same wifi name instead of using and extra network
Mercedes Kunde (verified owner) –
What can I say other than just awesome! The EAX80 was a breeze to add to the network with the Nighthawk app and my results have been more than I could have hoped for. Upgraded from a bridge that slowed everything down. With the extender my speed has over doubled! What use to take 6 hours to backup to my NAS now is less than an hour and a half! Thanks Netgear!
Delores Brakus (verified owner) –
Wifi in my farside of the house used to be non-existent and my voice in calls always had that robotic shrill. However, when I installed the extender, the Wifi in my room went from sometimes one or two bars to a full five bars all the time.
Edmund Howell (verified owner) –
Since I received the NetGear Nighthawk Wifi 6. I was able to connect many device with no issue.
Erich Corkery (verified owner) –
The device kinda works while connected by Ethernet cord but doesn’t work overall. The app doesn’t offer any assistance with setup either. It actually does nothing.
Samara Satterfield (verified owner) –
This product is amaxing and took me 10 minutes to set up and plug into the right location. My kids can now benefit of super speeds at the extreme location of the house. They were getting 20% of the signal prior to installing! Netgear is my goto!
Yessenia Swift (verified owner) –
I have the best gaming experience with the wifi 6 extender smooth experience with no lag and perfect for watching Netflix or surfing the Internet
Lilian Franecki (verified owner) –
Straight forward installation. Easy to follow instructions (both iOS iPhone app and client from Mac). However, the iPhone app still needs work (loses connections, is slow, etc.)
Santiago Hilpert (verified owner) –
Great unit – recommend using a different name for the extender network.
Esperanza Smith (verified owner) –
This extender makes my whole house internet accessible with no lag in speed. Easy to hook up
Jada Leannon (verified owner) –
Unfortunately the extender I received appeared to be a lemon. After 2 hrs on the phone the tech support suggested that the item was defective and should be returned. Even after resetting the unit, updating the software the range was the same, the speed dropped from 220mps to 110 and sometimes slower where the connection was dropped
