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.

I mean I was fairly sure this was gonna be simple, but hooking it up took all of a couple minutes maybe. I really like that it’s caused me no real issues so far and a solid product overall.

Received the unit, followed the user friendly instructions and completed the set-up in about 30 minutes. As I add cameras to my Google Hub, I should have no issues with installation.

Used the Comcast xfinity router for months with constant problems. Replaced with the Nighthawk and no more xfinity intrusions causing outages!

I was using a powerline adapter in my home because I know wire is better than wireless. One of my powerline adapters failed. I know this externder is expensive. I was skeptical of it. I installed it, upgraded the firmware. I was absolutely blown away by the speed and the stability of the connection. I a mso glad I bought it!

Could not get sufficient assistance to hook up and then , it did not improve wifi at all

The app caused more issues than hardware it’s self bight hawk app while made to be simple could provide more in-depth options as well suffers from some connectivity issues finding extender took me about week to get it hooked up right between first doing it through wps and not having it synced with router in the app then wanting it snyced and resetting the extender and final after many failed attempts getting it to work. I give it 3-5 would been 4-5 but connection issues demand minus 1 and signal power could be greater capacity or more inline with ax12/8 router full product.

I had high hopes for the Nighthawk. Every few years I buy an extender with the hope that the tech has improved. The nighthawk gets high marks for ease of setup and features. However, it still suffers from the annoying lag when in use. Even though I have a small space and 400 gbs service the extender works like dial up service.

Arlie Farrell (verified owner) –
Works good in my garage/work space which is outside of my house and a little further away from my router so using this made it easy for me to stream music in my workshop.

Everyone has need of the coverage if you have walls that block signal.
Dolly Swaniawski (verified owner) –
I was not able to hold Teams meetings unless I also called in and the video may or may not work. After I purchased this extender, I’ve had no problem with using my video and I no longer have to call in. This has made working at home so much productive for me. I recommend this product if you’re experiencing these issues.

I use this product to help reach the home security system I have installed and it keeps the cameras connected with lightning fast speed and quality! Definitely recommend for boosting signal in your home!

I was unable to use the app features of moving devices around the networks because the app continued to say it couldn’t connect to my main router even though the Spectrum router showed it was connected. Returning it
