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.

would work a whole lot better if it had external antennas. Other wise it is great.

I purchased this extender to replace the EAX20 that died after two years use. I found the downstairs AX8 extender was unable to receive Wifi signal from my upstairs RAX50. Very disappointed. I returned it for a refund. I have used Netgear products for years. Until now, I have been very pleased with Netgear products.

Getting my son’s Xbox to perform with under 39ms latency in conjunction with the Netgear Cax80 Nighthawk makes owning 20 devices multiple tv’s, 4k surveillance, multiple tablets, gaming systems and phones a breeze with no connection interruption. Happy kid and Happy wife equals Happy Hubby

Although it is a bit on the pricier side, this product is well worth it. It is a breeze to set up as either an access point or as an range extender. Either way it does a fantastic job increasing the range of the WiFi throughout the house.
Bethany Marvin (verified owner) –

Adela Rosenbaum (verified owner) –
Horrible extender. It took two days to completely setup and when finished, it didn’t perform as advertised. I wouldn’t recommend this device to anyone.
Howard Krajcik (verified owner) –
I bought my router less than a year ago and that should fall under the warranty. But I have to but tech support to even start the process. Which is bogus.
Cooper Renner (verified owner) –
Great product overall. It came in on time. It boosted up my WiFi signal. Covered all my house spaces (1 floor house with 4 bedroom). Highly recommended!
Sylvia Feil (verified owner) –
I’ve been using the Nighthawk WiFi Range Extender for a few weeks and haven’t had any problems. It was easy to install and set up and works as expected. It has extended the wifi from one end of my house to the other. Previously, I only had 1 bar of wifi in the back bedroom. With the Nighthawk WiFi Range Extender, that bedroom now has 4 bars. I highly recommend this product.
Donato Rowe (verified owner) –
The wifi extender works ok, but not the boost I was hoping for. Too be honest I think the improvement in range is negligible.
Ralph Shields (verified owner) –
Paired the Netgear EAX80 with my Nighthawk RAX120 WiFi router and my speeds in the backyard pool area are awesome.
Isabell Quigley (verified owner) –
The Nighthawk has been a great addition to our house for wi-fi it has given us a tremendous boost in wi-fi signal at the back of our house!
Marvin Cole (verified owner) –
I bought this to extend my Nighthawk routers network and it is doing a fantastic job!
Shania O’Reilly (verified owner) –
Only problem I had is it didn’t work with the Verizon router G3100 without disabling Self-Organizing Network (SON) after that setup was easy, it took me 5 hours to figure it out, as it wasn’t noted anywhere I could find.
