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.

Flo Wilderman (verified owner) –
Highly recommend this extender. Although my router is by a different brand, the set up was super easy. I also liked how it did a speed test right after the set up to let me know if I needed to make changes. Very satisfied.
Gaylord Larkin (verified owner) –

I found the Netgear Nighthawk WiFi Extender (EAX80) to be sleek, powerful, and of high quality. It was a little more challenging to configure with my modem than expected. I would recommend using the mobile app instead of WPS connection. I also ended up using a hardwired connection.

this things is great though it was hard at first i didnt relize that at first it had the same name as my wifi i thought it was going to make its own but i sent a mesge to the suport team and they were glad to help me and showd my some suports to seprate them and now their seprated the reason i want it seprated was too get some device off from the orginal wifi and also reach where the wifi is poor though the app is not verry good it drops the net gear consatly but its alright i could always rest very time
Kaylie Murray (verified owner) –
Works great. Easy to set up, does exactly what I needed it to do. Nice that it does not create a separate network, and devices just grab whichever has the best signal.

Mike Kirlin (verified owner) –
Extends signal over 80 ft from one house to another on our property. No complaints, easy to install.
Justina Hudson (verified owner) –
OK so I see people are having a hard time with their routers. I would like to first of all say these products are absolute beasts if you have the right devices. If you look at the specs above this you find a number “802.11 ax”. Not very devices support this. If you have relatively new devices they most likely support “802.11 ac” wireless networking.

I added this range extender to my Netgear WiFi 6 ax system. Not only did it fill in the dead spots it added rage without any speed degradation. It’s the best coverage that I have seen in recent years. Well done Netgear.

Have had no problems with it! Had a little trouble getting it setup but figured out how to do it smoothly!
