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.

Much needed add on to our system. Large house and home office was away from router location. Adding this piece just solidified our system.

Rita Kozey (verified owner) –
setup was much harder than expected. Made call to netgear and chated for a time gave up and then the support person sent me an e mail and with some more multiple tries I finally won. Now I am a believer and really recommend the unit!!!
Adaline Wiza (verified owner) –

Brielle Christiansen (verified owner) –
This extended did what I expected with better results. The signal is stronger and faster than my previous nighthawk extender.
Adelia Lebsack (verified owner) –
We have dreadful internet because of our location. This device connected well and extended the WiFi to the back of the home and garage. Works very well!
Jennie Raynor (verified owner) –
This is really improved the wifi throughout our house as well as our spare house. Now we can stream TV services in our spare house without lags and interruptions as well as set up a remote office there! I highly recommend.

Easy to set up and provides extended range and fast internet speeds. Glad I purchased!!
Carroll Volkman (verified owner) –
It cuts my network speed in half. I have to keep doing factory resets so my Nighthawk app can find it. I would never buy another one.
Laury Orn (verified owner) –
Our only available connection for our modem and router were on the 2nd floor in the center of the house. This created an amazing signal upstairs. But horrible signal for my gaming console downstairs trying to connect via wifi. Adding this extended allowed me to hard wire connect to it and give me the signal strength necessary to game without interruption. Thank you!

Easy to set up and enhanced my Wi-Fi speeds upstairs! Do not use smart network and combine your 2GH and 5GH, worst thing you can do!
Laney O’Hara (verified owner) –
I was hoping that my netgear EAX80 extender would enhance my 5k internet modem signal thru all the house but the extender needs to be close to the modem to receive the signal. I know that in optimal conditions all the lights need to be white. Maybe my walls are very thick and I might need an additional extender.

No matter how closely it is to the actual router it disconnects. I tried to open a web page and it almost looks like it is looking for the signal it lags in trying to open the page. My opinion is that they almost looks like they’re fighting to connect to the device, the router, and the extender. To me it looks like it doesn’t work like like an extender, but an actual router either my place is too small or the extender is too big. So having said that it almost feels like it crashes sometimes, and download speed is really low when there is multiple devices connected . I’m thinking of just returning it.

I replaced Nighthawk Extender and this product does not have the same range . I will have to seek alternative solutions
Molly Kassulke (verified owner) –
I have a Nighthawk router and was very please when I purchased the extender. It was easy to setup and works great to allow all my wi-fi items to work seamlessly.

Easy to setup with current netgear night hawk. It immediately recognized the router and setup was easy.
Maryse Shanahan (verified owner) –

Garry Wisoky (verified owner) –
I had a little trouble setting it up with my existing nighthawk router and additional nighthawk extender and housewide ethernet. finally got it figured out with the help of Netgear support. They were great spent a couple hours with me to make sure everything in the house was working. My system has been reliable and fast.
