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.

Overall the extender is easy to set-up with just “taping” on the Nighthawk app. This extender is the best so far. The range is perfect for my home. I would recommend this for anyone if they have the budget. I love it.

Added two eax80 extenders to my RAX120 to increase speeds at the corners of the router coverage. While the router itself was fine I needed PS5 XBOX-X and PC coverage without wanting to run cat8 through walls. With the extenders ping and stability increased.

The speed boost that you get out of this extender is excellent

Good overall extender. There are issues with the GUI/App, and sometimes firmware updates cause it to misbehave, but once working it provides very good extension coverage (using it with the AX8 WiFi 6 router).

At first I was worried it wouldn’t work but after some trial and error it pulled through. My download and upload speed has quadrupled after following its easy set up steps. I couldn’t be more impressed with this product. I’m now able to game on my Xbox One X with absolutely no problems at all!

This device does not increase the number of devices of the network. Firesticks connected to it freeze making them unusable. The app says its not connected.
Eric Koss (verified owner) –
Works very well in the ap node. it increased my download speed 2-3x times with the same modem. One drawback is that its limited to 1gb for attaching external hard drives.

Netgear Night Hawk has definitely improved WiFi speed and my sons gaming down loads

I love my new extender. I was left without much connection in my new home and this new extender has done everything I need and then some! I would 100% recommend this to anyone

Setup of this EAX80 range extender was very difficult and required 3 hours on the phone with support.

All I wanted was to spread the wifi around my house with good connection speeds and that’s exactly what I got.

Reaches out to a barn camera 200 feet away from my house . I have tried other extenders that could not come close. Great product !

I have tried a bunch of extenders, this one is the best so far.

I was trying to fix some bad wifi spots in my home but was unsuccessful. I tried google wifi mesh but was still not able to get good speed. Finally tried the nethawk extender and it resolved my issue. I have good coverage throughout my home now(approx 3600 sq ft)
Art Borer (verified owner) –
Two years worth of issues with spotty WiFi coverage and malfunctioning tools resolved with one purchase. The Nighthawk has made my work day and daily activities so much less painless and more efficient. Thanks!
Aylin Bosco (verified owner) –
The product fulfilled all expectations. Easily meshes with router.
Hadley Sipes (verified owner) –
I have used several Netgear routers, all good. And so far 2 different extenders. Operated well also. But this one all but set itself up. And has run flawlessly!

This extender is awesome..I had it setup as wireless 50ft from the Netgear Rax200..it’s in my bedroom where I had bad reception..I have 1.2gbps through Xfinity..but my numbers were way down..like 260mbps..then I hardwired the extender to my router and configured it as a wireless access point and my numbers went up drastically here are some pics from my Galaxy Ultra S20
