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.

Had issue with ring camera and the extended resolved my issue
Hillary Parker (verified owner) –
Before installing the Netgear mesh, we would get kicked off our Internet multiple times a day. However, after reading the instructions for an easy install, we have not had that problem at all. It’s nice to be able to have dependable Internet in our home now.
Joyce Morar (verified owner) –
Very easy to set up. Extended the range of my Wi-Fi far beyond what I had expected. Would definitely buy again
Emery Paucek (verified owner) –
It seems like a beta router. It keeps shutting down and dropping devices constantly. Seems to get worse the longer I have it. Recently got an email that there was an emergency patch for my router but it does not show in the app. Only 90 days of free support. Should be much longer based on the beta/experimental nature of this router.

With everything in the house using Wi-Fi these days from thermostats, doorbells, tv’s, and computers, this Wi-Fi extender has made my entire house and yard fully connected. No more weak spots anywhere.
Santa Buckridge (verified owner) –
Set up was easy once i turned off automatic DNS on my Iphone. Seems to work quite a bit better than the last one which was a fairly expensive amped? ampex:? the old one was a few years old.
Joseph Steuber (verified owner) –
I have the RAX-80 router with the app and now that I have the EAX-80 set up for roaming in my network I don’t like how I have to login to each router rather then interfacing them together. I have Cox gigabit internet and it is not good so I won’t blame the routers for continuous dropping. But when they work I get very good speeds.
Suzanne Rowe (verified owner) –
Very easy to install. Have multiple Ring Cameras feeding to it and it is flawless.
Kip Nitzsche (verified owner) –
I have tried several but this one was easy to set up and it works amazing now I get WiFi everywhere in my house. Highly recommended
Margarete Feest (verified owner) –
Very happy with extender. I was able to get immediate coverage and boost in speed.
John Schimmel (verified owner) –
The Netgesr app to run the router is great and was easy to set up. We also really like the mesh network (one network name instead of four with 2.4, 5, 2.4 ext, and 5 ext) we set up with the Nighthawk extender. The Netgear app seamlessly runs both router and extender. It is a lot of money but we have found our internet speeds and reliability have greatly improved, so it was worth the investment. We are using Fios Giagabit internet service with iPhone 12s using the WiFi 6 protocol supported by the router and extender.
Freeman Labadie (verified owner) –
This product is pretty much great. It was easy to install and for the most part I think it’s helping. A few days after I installed it we starting having trouble with our AT
Curt Hamill (verified owner) –
Tried several different extenders and grateful to have found the NETGEAR Nighthawk Mesh Range Extender. It was easy to set up and the range/coverage is the best, by far, than any other system we tried.
Mabel Murphy (verified owner) –
Helped fixed a dead spot in my home. Paired with other netgear extender for maximum coverage. Smart home with a lot of devices perfect for my needs.
Ally Morissette (verified owner) –
This was one of the simplest installs that I have made to my network. Once installed, my devices that were on the edge have full connectivity.
