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.

This new router is fantastic. Way better than the asus I had. Love the app to test speeds and see what is all connected

Easy set up with my Netgear R8500. Up and running in under 10 minutes. My house had dead spots due to 8 inch brick walls between original house and new addition. The EAX80 solved the problem. Great coverage in new addition and basement now. Definitely recommend it.

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.

A very good product from a reputable company. Very fast Wi-Fi and didn’t need the Wi-Fi extender.

This combination router/modem has absolutely been phenomenal. It provides everything needed and then some.

I finally decided to ditch the rental modem bandwagon and buy my own. After looking for one, I decided to go with a modem and router combo. The ease of set up was easy. Simple call to Cox and it was activated. Using the app to set the modem up was easy enough. Quickly changed my pass words and was ready to go. After the firmware update, I like the Armour feature that protects my connection from unwanted connections and helps my family from dangerous ads. Number one, fast and simple. The app is an excellent companion to use.

Boosted our internet to blazing fast speeds! Worth it!

Have used this for a few months now and it’s performing better than I expected. We have a large 2 story house and we have zero connection issues. Very pleased with this router!

Easy to drop in as a replacement for an existing similar but older competitor WiFi router…says ALOT. I do appreciate the Nighthawk smart app more and more each day, bonus is the speedtest module. Fact: Oldest son now tells me the WIFI is XBOX worthy at 45 linear ft away from router and he doesn’t need a drop line anymore? I picked this WIFI router mainly for reviews regarding larger houses…I live in a 6500sq/ft single ranch style house with the router exactly in the middle and at worst I get 3 bars outside the house within 15 ft of the exterior…excellent for guests and plenty of range to the man cave garage and our outdoor entertainment area. I connect our streaming devices and XBOX to the 5G and all else to the 2G…works for our household, we have yet to experience a lag, spike or issue one might attribute to WiFi. Online registration and support documentation is user friendly and informative. We have 21 devices connected with 2 being hardwired.

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.
Jed Monahan (verified owner) –
The unit was working great until it completely failed due to hardware issue within 5 months. Waiting more than 2 weeks for NETGEAR replacement, just getting run around that they do not have replacement stock in their warehouse.

Upgraded our WiFi subscription to Gig speed and was never told that our old Arris was no longer compatible. Experienced regular network connection issues until it just stopped altogether. Researched the compatible options and decided to pick up the Netgear Nighthawk Cable Modem Wifi 6 Router Combo and have had ZERO issues and no longer need to use my Netgear WiFi extender in my house. Price was a little higher than expected, but hoping to get several years of good use out of it!
