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.

Have a few floors in my house that were preventing my router from reaching with good range to higher floors. This extender does the trick. With the Nighthawk app, I was able to remotely set the device up and see in real time how my two internet devices communicated and split the connected devices.

Recently purchased the eax80 to go with our nighthawk router. We have a long ranch house and needed some more range. This has done exactly what we needed it to and we now have high speed WiFi on the other side of our house that used to have a very poor signal. I highly recommend this product!

Nighthawk did exactly what it was supposed to do and works great.

Bought two of these to extend to range of a 5G wifi 6 mobile hotspot. Works great, strong signal and nothing has dropped off or have seen any negative times. 5Gz can download at 100 Mbs, 2Gz at 50 Mbs, ping around 40, and jitter around 6. Very much satisfied.

This NETGEAR mesh extender is perfect fit for my family. Nobody is complaining about WiFi anymore!
Franco Collier (verified owner) –
Great support and product once installed works great
Dean Oberbrunner (verified owner) –
I set the product up a total of 5 times even with the support of Netgear staff and no one understood why it would not work. It would connect, but I had no internet.
Brigitte Hills (verified owner) –
I bought this to replace my outdated extender. My reception improved dramatically.
Marion Schmeler (verified owner) –
Awesome product and very happy with our WiFi coverage in the upstairs of the house and outside work shop. I did have some issues setting up the extender. I think it may have been due to setting up with WPS but Netgear support could not have been more helpful. I cannot say enough good things about their support. They deserve 10 stars! We went years with poor WiFi strength in the upstairs office and it seemed to be getting worse. Now, we have maximum WiFi bars on our computers upstairs and the speed is such an improvement. I was not looking for a WiFI 6 mesh range extender (current router AT

I’ve been trying to find a solution to cover an outdoor pool area for over a year. I purchased and installed the extender and now my wireless is blazing fast outside. My streaming television is quick and clear.
Juana Sporer (verified owner) –
I use this product with an ax120, and it does not work, constantly losing wifi, i can’t see my air devices if I am on the mesh extender cover (sonos, yale, arlo). I wouldn’t recommend it for a smart house
Garrison Kutch (verified owner) –
The EAX80 extender was easy to install. The instructions were clear and simple. Running with my RAX70, it is completely transparent, and there are no dead spots in my whole house (2500 sq ft).
Mellie Keebler (verified owner) –
Very easy to install with the nighthawk app. It Covers the entire house without a break in coverage. More or less, once its installed you can forget about it.
Aimee Pouros (verified owner) –
I had a regular extender and still had spots with bad connection. I installed the Netgear mesh extender and I no longer have dead spots.
Ephraim Gerlach (verified owner) –
Extended signal in all but one area, much improved signal.
Madonna Boyer (verified owner) –
Very easy setup. Very good speeds too. Very satisfied.
Betty Batz (verified owner) –
Sadly I am unable to get this to work with our WiFi network and I’m also unable to return it so we are out a bunch of money. I hope others have better luck.
Raquel Kuvalis (verified owner) –
Plugged my desktop Into the back of the Extender and my speeds are blazing!!
Esperanza Langosh (verified owner) –
Extended our range drastically and makes a 6 person household much speedier!
