It was a real easy to hook this EAX80 up and by making it an access point it makes the wifi extend into my backyard and our outdoor room, we stream TV with no problem. In my option this is the way to go with the EAX80 to fill your house with wifi.

Perfect Solution for 2 story home
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!

I have multiple devices connected and have not had any dropped connections. I got this mainly for the TV that have Fire Sticks connected. I went from a marginal signal to very good signal. The main TV (4k) now streams without dropping or pausing the program content. The ability to stream to multiple devices (4) without it interfering with each other is a big plus.

It works with my router and the speeds are reasonable. I like that it has 4 ethernet ports. Wifi 6 is nice. At initial setup, it did not work very smoothly. It is working ok now. The range extenders software has a lackluster of features I wish there were more. Overall, it is a good product.

Easy set up; instantly expanded coverage!
I have a typical residential home and needed to improve wireless coverage in a remote area, where wireless coverage was nominal. I researched extenders and decided on the EAX80 to complement my first-generation Nighthawk (R8000 router that manages about 30 devices; some are wired but most are wireless. Although I’ve used Netgear products for home networking since home networking became available, this is the first time I’ve ever reviewed a Netgear product. I have Xfinity gigabit service and I use a Netgear CM1150V cable modem (to avoid a $14 monthly rental fee). Setup of the EAX80 (as an access point via an ethernet cable) was straightforward because I followed the directions. I also checked for and applied a firmware update that was available; I did not finalize settings until I applied the firmware update. I also tried the wireless connectivity between the EAX80 and R8000 but noticed slower speeds (as the instructions explain because both devices share the radio frequencies), so I settled on the ethernet cable (CAT5E) because I prefer a hard-wired connection to improve performance. (I also wired my home several years ago, so I had ethernet cables on the opposite side of the house.) My newer wireless devices (such as my Samsung S21) immediately took advantage of the wi-fi 6 capability and I nearly tripled the speed I get when connected wirelessly to the EAX80 versus when I’m connected wirelessly to the R8000. To date, I’ve had no problems with wireless devices not being able to connect to the EAX80. Based on the EAX80’s performance, I’ll upgrade to the RAX200 when necessary (and when the cost comes down) so that I have wi-fi 6 wireless capability on the opposite side of the house. For now, however, everything is working as advertised and I highly recommend the EAX80.

This extender have a problem negociating local ip with the router. dhcp doesn't work in a extended wifi setup with same SSID. You have to manually enter the network settings on your computer otherwise no ip... even if it's work, it's laggy. no advanced network customization. I may consider to use it as an AP.

I've had this extender for months, and honestly it's only mde things worse. Despite having a tri band Netgear router, devices always connect to the EAX80 even when on a separate floor (but the same floor as the router). It also has a cap speed of 50 mbps, a common problem reported around the internet.

You have chose the wrong device
OK so I see people are having a hard time with their routers. I would like to first of all say these products are absolute beasts if you have the right devices. If you look at the specs above this you find a number "802.11 ax". Not very devices support this. If you have relatively new devices they most likely support "802.11 ac" wireless networking.

Not worth the headache
Purchased 3/2020 (3mo is a good trial period), paired with Netgear Rax80 (have kept firmwares up to date, in Smart Connect) so I could offload my NAS and other devices on a different circuit breaker. I live in a house so radio interference is not significant. At times (several times a week), unable to connect with my router so my TV, cellphones lose wireless, which is it's main purpose. Firmware (1.0.3.88) is simplistic, has not been updated since I bought it so even if I wanted to route all my wireless devices to my router rather than this dysfunctional extender, I cannot. I can't even set a static IP on it (which would be nice for a NAS). Have tried FastLane to no avail and FastLane in the end hinders the system as not all home devices are 5ghz. It is not the router or my ISP as once this extender was pulled off, have had no issues. In the end, for $250, it fails at its basic function which is reliable range extension (even when pared to the same brand of router!) and for the price, would expect to be able to customize it.

66% speed decrease
Took several hours to set up. I kept getting “incorrect password” notifications when connecting to my established WiFi network during setup of the extender. Expect 1/3 the normal internet WiFi speed when connected to this extender (I got full speed when connected to my AX12). This range extender is a headache. For $250 I expected way better from Netgear. You’re better off using the “Smart Connect” feature (if your router supports it) to extend the range of your WiFi network. I wanted 5ghz signal for the backyard but the hassle and decrease in WiFi speed are not worth it. $250 is too steep for the problems this system introduced.

It screams
The EAX is a significant improvement over my previous extenders. In addition you get the benefits of a common login throughout the house. I was a little disappointed in the wireless connection to my cable modem, so I set it up as wired access point.

Outstanding WiFi Extender!
Overall the extender is easy to set-up with just “taping” on the Nighthawk app. This extender is the best so far. The range is perfect for my home. I would recommend this for anyone if they have the budget. I love it.

Absolute Garbage
Do a Google or other search on EAX Problems and you will find this thing absolutely does not work and Netgear support is useless. I'm stubborn and have kept trying option after option and hint after hint to make it work, but it simply won't connect, or if it does, it drops/quits within the day. Unfortunately I tried for too long and am now after return window or else this thing would be going back. But it will definitely be the last Netgear product I ever waste my money on.

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.

I really wanted to like it
After purchasing Rax200 my confidence in Netgear was at all time high. Sadly this repeater pales in comparison. The set up was quick and painless but it doesn't do well what it's supposed to be doing. Both my 2.4 and 5ghz networks are being extended - but the speed is disappointing. I have a 1gb fibre connection. Rax200 covers the entire house so there was never really a need for that repeater but I still bought it because I wanted a few devices in the living room to be connected through Ethernet and I also wanted to improve the coverage in the garden. The range is impressive but I only get half of the speed I get with let's say a mobile phone comparing to connecting it to my third band (additional 5ghz network) not being repeated by the extender. Without extender connected I would get steady 500mbps on my iPhone (not wifi 6) both in my bedroom upstairs (where the router is) as well as the living room downstairs. With eax80 in place connecting to the 5ghz network both upstairs and downstairs gives me around 250mbps. That's correct. I could be standing next to my router - the very same one offering me 500mbps and still getting the slowed down connection. This makes me feel my phone is actually still connecting me to that band of my wifi through the repeater despite me being right next to the router. This is of course a deal breaker for me because it all amounts to spending money and actually making the network slower. I still hope that the premise of being able to be seamlessly transferred from router to repeater depending on location would happen with a future update. The way it stands now it definitely does not live up to the promise made in the marketing of the eax80. I would probably recommend it to people who have signal dead spots in the house because in that situation getting half the speed is better than having no coverage at all. For me the better purchase would probably have been their switch that I would connect with the router via Ethernet cable (I just didn't want to drill the walls). It would have been much cheaper option with - gigabyte connection readily available for all the devices connected downstairs (tv, nvidia shield etc).
The good: easy to set up
The bad: only getting half of the speed comparing to connecting from the same spot in the house directly to a router, the premise of moving seamlessly between router and repeater depending on proximity is pure sci-fi
Do yourself a favour and try rax200. Maybe you will find out that you don't really need repeater in first place (one of my rooms had a really weak signal with my old Netgear router and now gets full coverage and speed - as long as I don't try to repeat that band over eax80. Overall this repeater is a disappointment but I'm gonna let it slide on the back of astonishing performance from its smarter cousin - rax200

NETGEAR Extender rocks the house
Bought the WiFi 6 Range Extender to cover our 5,000 ft one story house. Modem is in my office at one end and put the Range Extender 3/4 of the way to the back of the house. We are now able to use 5g reception for the entire house. And a solid 2g on the outside patio and front porch. Easy setup with the cellphone APP. Took a day for me to figure it out and test the best spot. It is rocking now! Thanks NETGEAR !

For range is great but for speed was a disappointment. I always have nighthawk equipment never give bad reviews this one is the worse review I ever give to the nighthawk . Why I dont return because I setup alot of divices on that extender and I really dont want to start over. Lol

Helpful but not amazing
The setup was a nightmare. Per the directions it should’ve been quick and easy. However, it took about 4 hrs of doing the steps over and over (nothing done differently), and restarting the unit multiple times before it finally worked! Now that the unit is up and running; I had to sign back into our network, on all devices, before anything would work. (Forget network and then sign back in). That being said the signal strength on the extender says it’s the best connection possible but I haven’t noticed much of a difference.

Wifi signal not stable
Since installing it, I can see that the signal is stronger and present everywhere, even outside but the all the connected phones and laptops keep losing the connection because the IP cannot be obtained. I have to disconnect and reconnect every time. It happens on 7 phones and 7 laptops. The wifi signal coming from the router is weak but still stable so I do not understand the issue coming from the extender

Best gaming purchase I’ve made
I can’t use a wired connection for gaming due to the distance from our router. I tried different extenders and power line connectors and all were a waste. Finally I decided I’m just gonna spend the money and if this doesn’t give me a better signal nothing will. I wish I’d bought this months ago. It’s incredible, the setup is insanely easy and convenient through the app. Just plug and play. My internet speed is now faster from the other side of the house than it is connecting to the main router just a few feet away. This one may actually be more than I need and others are listed on the site for quite a bit less but if you want an extender that will 100% get the job done, you found it.

Terrible technology
I have had nothing but problems using the EAX80 with the RAX40. I have opened 8 cases with netgear support, and they always just say to do the same steps. Nothing has solved the problem.
Here is a summary of my experience:
1. My RAX40 router works fine when it is operating by itself.
2. Once i have the EAX80 configured and turned on, that is when all of the trouble begins. I have to constantly reboot the router and the extender and/or my mobile devices are constantly losing connection.
I have asked Netgear to replace these with a model that will actually work, but they have yet to respond. I recommend looking at a different system that has a better chance of working for you.

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.

Unfortunate disappointment
I love my Netgear Night Hawk AX120 router and Night Hawk modem. I had equal excitement for this range extender to provide additional range and hard wire access points. Setup and maintenance on the Night Hawk app has always been fast and effective. Unfortunately the range extender has not provided the same experience. Setup was unintelligible. The app setup was 90% complete then could not proceed. After 2 hours on the phone it was explained that the extender was setup. It was connected but the app wasn’t working and I needed to just “trust” it was working. It was further explained the app was broken and would not allow me to control the extender, they said this is a known issue with no timeline for repair. No functionality exists to run speed tests identify what is connected or control the extender. I am to just blindly trust the $200 extender is working flawlessly. Well, that’s been difficult, since adding the extender I am getting poorer performance in my network and with no app controls there is no way to diagnose of fix the issues. I am left frustrated because I don’t even know how to remove it from my network since the app is broken. I effectively broke a $1,000 network setup with a $200 upgrade. The only reason it is a 2 star review is because I have to restart my 5 star network three times a week now. it’s still an impressive network when working properly. But that seems to be a rarity now. 0 star review for the extender. 5 star for modem and router. 2 star for the performance of my network now.

GREAT Product!
With two kids home doing remote learning, we needed more bandwidth. Prior to install he could only muster two bars of signal from the weak school-issued Chromebook. After simple installation my son noticed an easy doubling of speed and signal strength to his Chromebook. Critical to this was the ability to run hardwire cables from one of the four available Ethernet plugs on the back of the wifi extender right to his Chromebook. He also hardwired in his gaming computer and got a 50% improvement in graphics speed, making a huge difference in his gaming and VR play. Moving all of his devices onto the wife extender also gave the rest of the family more bandwidth to work with, increasing our speed as well. With three gamers and me working from home sometimes, this wifi extender definitely packs a punch. Overall, a great product that works very well for us.

Does not perform as described
Read all the literature and decided it would be worth $250 to have the features and performance promised. The installation was flawless but the result was that internet speed was actually reduced 60 to 80 % of what was possible using the existing modem/router without this extender. Tech support did try to help but in the end could not help or explain why speed was so much reduced. Had to return the unit and am left to see about another solution. Pretty disappointing all things considered.....product definitely does not approach the marketing hype.

Easy to setup, speeds-latency are consistent and no packet loss. Pickup and transmit area is also larger than expected. I use this to extend out to a garage where I also run a server rack. Very impressed.

This works great when it’s about 60-100 ft away. In larger home it drops pretty quick after that. I was getting about 250 mbps and then only 62 mbps in the room that I needed that was only another 20 ft away.

No wired backhaul makes kills usefulness
I have had some modest results - lots of disconects and sub-par switching from router to extender. I had hoped - assumed- that this extender would support a simple wired backhaul for the Mest with the RAX120 (or another nighthawk router - but nada! The only way to make this work is to set this up as a separate AP which kills the whole mesh (and same SSID) concept. Too bad. How can Netgear 'forget' about Wired Backhaul ?!

I keep hoping an upgrade will make this expensive mistake resolve itself. I’ve spent hours with the app and the web installer... Tomorrow I’m back with starting the day paper clip resetting the system and hoping it might actually work. I have three of these and the only one that partially functions as an extender sitting 20 feet from the RAX200 router.
It has never worked as advertised. My old Orbi system was faster and more reliable.
Thankfully the router works as a stand-alone device but even as the top of the line product, it needs extenders to get coverage.
The system just doesn’t work.

Mesh Range Extender (EAX80)
So far the unit has been very helpful. I have a Nighthawk x10 that provides coverage for the entire home, it does a pretty good job. I do have a dead spot in the basement and low-signal in the kitchen. Kitchens and baths typically have a mold/water resistant drywall which wreaks havoc on a wifi signal. I installed the EAX80 in the basement under the kitchen and it helped. Boosted signal dramatically and increased download speeds from ~40mbps upto ~150mbps.

Very Good Extender
We had to quickly update our network when all the schools shut down, we over night had 6 kids on chrome Books during the day all over our house. This range extender was very easy to set up, connected to our router and had the kids logged into their classes and in Zoom classes much faster then they would have liked. Using the App is very simple and lets me know what is happening with the extender and that we are connected to the router. So far this has been a great product.

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.

Disappointing wifi extender
I spent some time researching this wifi extender. The one wifi name looked like a nice option. Unfortunately, it doesn't work so good. My laptop wouldn't connect. Support told me to use different network names for each device. I renamed my router SSID so I could keep the extender name as it was. The extender is closer to the wifi devices needing the connection, and they were already setup for this network name. I had to reconfigure the wifi extender then as the router SSID had changed. After going through this, not much changed. My My laptop still requires plugging into the LAN. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for support to call me back. Got disconnected over an hour ago, and I gave my call back number to all four people I talked to. Very disappointed!

Purchased as I was getting poor performance from my WiFi downstairs whilst streaming Netflix on smart tv. Initially had problems installing using the app on my Android phone. Resolved this by resetting the extender. However moved extender as recommended in manual now cannot connect with the app so who knows if it works, I can see the Eax80 is connected in my routers connected devices. App does not work, it should be simple but has been painful, rubbish product and apps.

Smart connect = Dump Connect
My network map: RAX200 tri-band router + Oribi Outdoor tr-band extender + EAX80 DUAL-band extender.
The Orbi Ouder requires channel > 100 for backdoor connection. BUT, When using "SmartConnect", the RAX200 constantly switch between channel 43 and 153 as backdoor channel for Orbi Outdoor ==> Poor connection.
The EAX and Oribi Outdoor constantly decides to take output of the other as its input channel ==> Two extenders "short-circut" connect to each other without the data transmitted from the RAX200 router ==> Drop connection all the time.
There should be a firmware upgrade to make "Smart"connect becomes smart ==> Should have a way to distinguish "Extender" device and have a fixed backdoor channel for them depend on the requirement of the Extender.

First time user of a Range Extender EAX80
When I followed the EAX80 directions with my Xfinity WiFi router using the WPS option for some reason I could not get the 5GHz portion to connect. I had to do a factory reset and decided to configure it using a wired connection to the Xfinity router and login using the assigned IP address and that seem to work for me. Six hours later, the Xfinity router lost it network connection and somehow lost the both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz connection to the EAX80 and had to repeat the process again to reconfigure the EAX80. It has been working now for about one month with any issues.

Works great WHEN it's working
I bought this in hopes of replacing the Nighthawk X6S EX8000 3 Gbps WIFI Range Extender. Big mistake. The set up is easy and when it connects, I can get the 5Ghz channel to connect up to 2880 Mbps BUT it all of a sudden just DROPS to no connection and leaves only the 2.5Ghz working. The X6S is a MUCH more stable unit when placed at the same exact location. I'm an electrical engineer and understand wifi signals, placement, etc. Placing this unit at the same exact place as the older X6S is enough to deduce that this is an inferior product when it comes to stability. Perhaps a firmware update is needed - BUT it is stuck on 1.0.0.36_1.0.1 and says there's no update available.

Switching between WiFi networks in your home or workplace is such a drag. The EAX80 resolves all that drama. I set mine up as an access point and the performance is astounding. The only element preventing a five star review is that the access point setup was bumpy. Now that it is configured, it is working amazingly well. Highly recommend.

Strong, Reliable Extender
NETGEAR’s Nighthawk WiFi Extender EAX80 has been an excellent addition. For years, I have struggled with poor signals in the room that I initially wanted to turn into an office. I tried a number of devices, but none seemed to keep a steady internet connection so I had to settle putting my office elsewhere. With NETGEAR’s EAX80 Extender, I am not only able to connect in this dead WiFi zone, but I am also able to enjoy fast internet speeds that not only allow me to work comfortably, but also enhances the area with additional connectivity for my household’s various mobile devices. Installing the EAX80 Extender was also quick and convenient using NETGER’s app on my smartphone. Compared to the cost of what a typical internet service provider charges you to provide you with panoramic WiFi service, I also found the EAX80 Extender to be considerably affordable.

Mesh is the “Besh!
Between my SX10 AX8 and this AX80 my house has full coverage in every room. It was a very easy setup using WPS. I couldn’t ask for a better Mesh WiFi Extender. Thanks Netgear!

Seems to work ok
I bought this as an extender. I put it half way between the router and living room. My Amazon fire tv was buffering quite often. It has not buffered once since I installed my nighthawk WiFi 6. It has only been a week but it seems to be doing the job. I am not a tech guy so the hook up was a little harder than I thought it would be. But I got through it.

Excellent WiFi Extender!
The Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender worked exactly as intended. I now have a strong WiFi signal throughout my house. Setup was easy and took a few minutes. I used it as a wireless extender for a little before hardwiring it back to my router. Both methods offered great coverage, but obviously hardwiring is full proof. Great extender!

Constant connection issues
I purchased two of these initially with one serving as an access point and the other serving as the extender. However, the channel for 802.11ax kept getting automatically changed and connection speeds were dropped so I had to return one so I got a router which I switched to AP mode. Sadly, I’m seeing consistent issues with it losing connection, not recovering, and on devices connected via wired connection DHCP issues. This could be a good product, but these issues need fixed.

Money wasted....
I bought this product around 25 days ago, i used it with nighthawk XR500 performance terrible, i have gigabit internet, wifi performance on the router around 500 download 330 upload, connected to extender rarely 50 download 10 upload really unstable connection. Distance between router and extender 9 meters, no wall in between positioned router at the first floor and extender second floor
Both in the stairwell...
Suggested to buy XR200 AX12 because “officially “ they are designed to work together....
Today i received the XR 200 pairing done.... same terrible performance.
1st of MESH there is nothing, it should be clearly advertised with which product the extender it will works MESH!
I positioned the router and extender to be in visual line in the stairwell, when you go to first floor the router is too weak but the switch to the extender it doesn’t happen, so you lose connection..
I tried 2 ipad 2 smartphones and a laptop, same result connection lost...
If you consider the cost vs performance, this extender it is an absolutely no buy!!
According my experience what is advertised and what is reported it is not happening at all! It is a major disappointment, tomorrow i will try to pull a cable from router to extender using it as access point, if that was the solution to be used there were on the market far mach better access point far less expensive.
Netgear I’m really sorry never again, those are my last product.

Gets the job done
I have an XR 1000 upstairs. Needed a little more range downstairs where all my streaming devices are. Works perfect especially if you have it plugged in directly to your streaming devices through the ethernet wires. The only problem I have is still doesn’t reach one of my ring cameras in front of my garage the range isn’t that good.

Best range extender!
I have been on a long search for the best range extender. I have bought several different devices with the same result, “A weak signal or the range was to short”. After much research and comparisons I went with the nighthawk and must say this is worth every bit you spend on it. It is a tad pricey but if you want the best signal and the most coverage this is the device to purchase. It’s easy to set up, and makes all my devices from phones, laptops, wireless printers, tablets and gaming consoles ultra smooth at a high speed. A must buy!!

Total upgrade
I was using an older model wifi extender in my house that wasn’t a mesh router and it worked just ok. But the real hassle was that I had to select a different WiFi just to connect to it which was a real pain. With the Nighthawk WiFi mesh 6 range extender I not only can walk from room to room without worrying about switching between WiFi signals but it actually increased the speed on the other end of my house just from upgrading for the older/outdated WiFi extender. I would definitely recommend this product!

Works great with Nighthawk RAX120 router!!!
Pairs great with the Netgear Nighthawk RAX120 router, considering they are both dual band. I now get blazing speed throughout my entire house. I would recommend using the web UI for setting up the EAX80 extender, since the Nighthawk app setup process initially bottlenecked my 5 GHz band. The "Smart Setup" feature in the web UI removed the bottleneck. Setup of the AX8 extender took a little longer than the RAX120 router, but it was definitely worth it in the end. I now have an amazing wifi network!!!

Almost Great
First, I bought the nighthawk router to go with the mesh extender. They both were easy to set up with the help of the app. My one problem is you can only connect to the router via signal (not ethernet cable if you want to use it as a booster. I called tech support and they said if I wanted to connect with an ethernet cord then it would act as an additional router. That is not ideal when you have numerous devices that are all controlled from your phone that connects to them through your router. I set it up as an extender because I wanted my phone to have access to all my wireless devices in the home. The now is that occasionally the mesh extender will randomly disconnect from the router and will not reconnect unless I turn off the extender and then turn it back on. I wish if it lost connection for whatever reason that it would search for the signal and reconnect. Disappointing for $250. However, when it works it works great!!! I would have given 5 stars if it stayed connected or allowed me to connect via ethernet cable. Also, I would have given 2-3 stars if it was what I had the majority of my devices connected to. But it is in the basement so it is only a minor inconvenience thus the 4-star rating.

Absolutely terrible
Returned to Best Buy after trying to use it to extend 802.11ax 5ghz approximately 100 feet away from the house to a small shack. Non-stop constant disconnects and packet loss when used with a Netgear RAX8. Will never purchased another Netgear product again. I am attempting to unload the AX8 on eBay as well; after returning the EAX80 to Best Buy.

Excellent Product
I bought this unit to solve a connectivity issue I was having with my current wifi extender. My office is upstairs and I was getting connectivity dropouts when both my wife and I were in Zoom meetings at the same time. Once I installed this new mesh extender, I noticed a huge improvement for a stable connection. I am very impressed with this new EAX80 wifi extender. This was a great purchase.

EAX80 Range Extender Review
The setup for the EAX80 Mesh Range Extender was really easy using the Nighthawk App. Configuring the network was easy as well. I have been able to connect an additional 10 mobile devices to the network without connection issues or loss in connection speeds. The extender also converts an AC router into a WiFi 6 connection. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Sleek and space age
I thought the ax12 looked like a Star Wars shuttle which made me fall in love with it in the first place and now the extender is even cooler looking. The performance of the 2 together is unparalleled. There are no gaps in my 4 story home and I have over 50 can extend devices between tablets lights and computers. Great job

It’s just Meh
I haven’t noticed much improvement using this WiFi mesh booster paired with my AX8 WiFi modem. The sad part is my house is only 2,500 sqf. When I run the speed test in my AX8 I’m hitting around 350mbps but on average my EAX80 is between 60-100mbps. I sort of hoped the whole setup (AX8 EAX80 costing around $900 would perform better together.

Stable network is difficult
I have a home with 3 floors and a remote garage. Because my work requires a low latency and highly reliable network, I wanted to upgrade from the default hardware from my service provider. The fiber connection comes into the house in the basement on the far side of the buildings from my office. I put in a Nighthawk AX12 router with Cat 6e hardwire to the cable modem and picked up 900+MB/s WiFi with a stable jitter. I then started adding the EAX80 extenders. I needed 3 to cover the area and different elevations.
These need to be placed precisely to get the best signal. That doesn’t surprise me since any signal extender is only as good as what it receives. The iPhone app does not show signal strength, but going to the mywifi.local page does. That allowed me to get the best signal setup. Showing a numeric value for the signal strength, even in”MBs” is better than showing the WiFi arcs.
What did surprise me is how poor the performance could become. Although these are titled as “mesh” extenders, the current firmware appears to link to the network SSID, but doesn’t determine the best node to link to. It randomly selects the weakest signal with the same SSID resulting in sudden losses of data transfer and packet loss. I had to create 3 separate network SSIDs to avoid having the furthest extender attempting to link. I have also found packets being routed in a loop between extenders. Hopefully this can be fixed in later firmware releases. Mesh extenders that cost significantly less don’t suffer from this issue.
I would only recommend this to a friend if they have a solid understanding of networking infrastructure (or if I could help them. The current firmware is V1.0.0.36_1.0.1

Don’t buy this router
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.

Good Product, but $$$
Purchased this product to extend our ax12 router for the front part of our house. We had the ax12 for a couple of weeks and it was blazing fast, but one of our nest cams at the furthest corner of the house kept dropping intermittently, so we added the ax8 extender to remedy. Upon installation, we were plagued with speeds in the 25mbps range from our previously 350 range on our iPhones and wireless devices. For the life of me I could not figure out the problem until I went on the forums and found someone who had a similar experience. I connected the ax8 wirelessly and would have preferred a hard connection, but the instructions didn’t necessarily differentiate that extender vs access point configuration would lead to slowdown of wireless. I wish the instructions for installation would have had a disclaimer that stated “using this product as an extender will result in slower WiFi speeds and connectivity issues; for optimal performance, configure as a wired access point.” Now that we have our ax8 reconfigured as an AP, we are back to blazing fast speeds!

Incredibly unreliable - check NetGear Forum
These units have lots of known issues with reliability, especially at 5GHZ. Main issue is intermittent connectivity drops. Just check NetGear's own support forum and you will see what I mean. I'm sad I bought it and would not recommend. Try a different device - my old Netgear AX1900 was really good.

I purchased this in March of this year, I had connection issues, would not hold a connection, so I reduced my extended 5ghz band to 2400mbps..it then held the connection.. I have a 1gbps Xfinity connection. It was setup at the back of my house. I was getting 230mbps good enough, but I wanted it faster..yesterday I bumped it back up to 4800mbps but this time I turned on Mu-mimo..went up to 443mpbs outstanding since real world results are reduced to have over an extender since it has send and receive off of one band I get 900mpbs wifi directly to router

Was about to return but was I ever wrong!
I connected this extender to the RAX120 via the Netgear app and after many speed tests, reinstalls, and attempting different locations I could not get the speeds I was hoping for. In fact, I didn't even had full mesh 5ghz coverage around my 3100 sq. ft. home.
My Samsung Note 9 kept on getting sent to the 2.4 Ghz frequency as well with slower than expected speeds. After some research in miscellaneous forums, I ran into a similar scenario to mine where using of the SMART SETUP installation via a windows based computer fixed the problem. I think the app installation makes it easy and faster but using your computer and the Smart Setup is definetely the best option that gave me the results I expected.
I have now only positive things to say about this EAX80 extender that in conjunction with the RAX120 they're a force to be reckoned with.

If you want the best this product is it. My whole house 3150sq ft is all covered and works without a glitch. Installation was easy and once you install forget about it. The wifi6 option is really good for devices that have wifi6. I use my samsung s20 note ultra that has wifi6 and it works way fast. Highly recommend this router for any one with isp plans 500mb or higher.

Bad Product
Google the product name and model before buying. My bad experience is consistent with other comments. After two days of repeated problems I returns it. I don’t think Netgear will award me the $500 they said I might win by reviewing my purchase. This product was not ready for public use. As advertised it sounded great. As delivered it was a failure. Other Netgear products I have used and purchased have been rock solid. Not this one though. Spent 30 minutes on hold waiting for help, then 45 minutes for the tech person trying different things. The 5 GHz radios didn’t stay on right out of the box. The software app is not intuitive or easy to understand. They need to let customers try out there products during the development cycle. My unit looked like a prototype one, Conceptually good, needing much refinement.

Quick, easy setup
This ranger extender had a very quick and easy set up especially with the Nighthawk app. There is really only the extender and plug in the box so there is very little possibility of messing up. My only issue, and why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is that I originally was going to try to connect using WPS but I could not find the button for it anywhere. I only found the button after I had completed setup using the app and then the button lit up and I was able to see it clearly.

I’ve had this extender for a few months, as well as a Netgear AX5400. My iPad is only 3 feet from the Extender and still is buffering and skipping. I purchased this to provide coverage in the back of my house, only 2,400 sq ft home. It does not work anywhere near as advertised. I have called tech support several times. They run a few tests and tell me it is fine. It is not fine. The Netgear app (not recommended does not always find the Extender. I then need to reboot it and it finds it, for maybe a week or so.

The price point was great for the specs of the device, nothing at that price will even get close to its performance and speeds. All around a great choice for what my needs are.

Could not be happier!
What can I say other than just awesome! The EAX80 was a breeze to add to the network with the Nighthawk app and my results have been more than I could have hoped for. Upgraded from a bridge that slowed everything down. With the extender my speed has over doubled! What use to take 6 hours to backup to my NAS now is less than an hour and a half! Thanks Netgear!

This extender is awesome..I had it setup as wireless 50ft from the Netgear Rax200..it's in my bedroom where I had bad reception..I have 1.2gbps through Xfinity..but my numbers were way down..like 260mbps..then I hardwired the extender to my router and configured it as a wireless access point and my numbers went up drastically here are some pics from my Galaxy Ultra S20

Major improvement in WiFi speed and coverage!
This is a very handy unit that looks great and works well. I paired the extender with a Nighthawk AX12 for full coverage of my large two-story home. The Nighthawk is downstairs at one end of the house and the extender is upstairs at the other end. I'm using it as a range extender and not a hot spot.
I have been using Netgear routers and switches for years now and the software just keeps getting better. Configuration is intuitive and as simple or complex as you like. I used the Smart Connect feature which really simplified things but requires a little more thought if you need to directly access the extender during troubleshooting; use the provided link in the downloadable instructions and you're home free.
The coverage is excellent and now all devices, phones, tablets, and computers have a strong signal. REALLY strong and blazing fast at 5G.
The only minor issue I encountered was also mentioned in other reviews. Even though I immediately updated the firmware during installation, for about the first two weeks it went through a period of stabilizing where it would momentarily lose connection with the Nighthawk for a few seconds each day. It never dropped any devices and we wouldn't have noticed had I not been nearby and noticed the uplink light turn red. However, as reported by other users, this cleared up after about two weeks and it's been rock solid ever since. Perhaps it was building routing tables or something like that.
Finally, I've never had a single Netgear device fail so expect it to last until the technology is obsolete.
Highly recommended!

Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX80)
I would purchase this Range Extender again. Setup was easy and the massive range this Extender provides is phenomenal. My complex has fairly thick walls and my router was having problems penetrating them, leaving me with a weak signal. After installing and setting up the Extender, my signal now extends past my apartment and goes a few doors down. If you need an extender, this is definately the one!

I have a RAX35 that with best placement covers about 4,000 sq ft, but the signal is at one to two bars on either side of the house. I bought one EAX80 and plan to buy a second. So far, it has worked great at boosting the signal inside the house and provides great connection outside of the house.

It disconnects from the actual router.
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.

PRODUCT WORKS GREAT after some tricky set up steps
The set up was a bit tricky it could be more simple than what it was to set it up. The mesh router sometimes has issues connecting to the main wifi network and its tough to know which network you are connected to once you merge them other than those flaws the unit works pretty well and really great speeds come out of this device range is also very surprising.

Great booster
It’s like supercharging your connection it is awesome, especially if you wish to hard wire other devices in the room where you have this extender. You don’t have to run a long wire from your primary router. Great addition to my Netgear network. It also helps if you are a gamer I have the Xbox series X and it helped once I added this device and I hard wired it in. If you don’t understand what it does exactly in layman terms it is basically a bridge to your other devices that have weak connectivity or are too far away from where your router is currently position in your house this device boost the area of coverage.

Love this extender!
I recently bought NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX80 to get wifi across my large house and wow, I'm so glad it did! This thing works great! Manages for push access across 6 big rooms on the floors it's on, upstairs into 4 rooms including an 2 outside decks, AND the entire huge basement through 2 thick concrete exterior walls to my outside patio. I'm thrilled with what this thing can do. Oh and the extra ports are very handy. If you have a large space with hard to reach areas, this is the wifi extender you need.

Works to make Boundaries with strong & weak signal
Had a great deal of trouble establishing a connection because I made the mistake of using WPS with it when the Cable Modem/Router/Wifi CAX80 was setup as WPA-X. It just wouldn't work until I did a factory reset which I found instructions for in a KnowledgeBase article. Once I did that, setup was smooth albeit slow. Be patient with the Nighthawk app. It will work fine but wait for solid feedback that each step is complete before hitting Next!

Awesome WiFi Extender
This WiFi Extender is Awesome. It has increased my Internet speed, range, and strength throughout the entire house. Initial Setup was a little bit of a headache. I had to connect a Cat5 cable to the WiFi Extender from my PC in order to get everything installed and Setup. For some reason when trying to do the Setup Wirelessly it kept saying unable to located WiFi Extender. So if you have any issues trying to get it to Setup Wirelessly. Try connecting a Cat5 Cable and then you shouldn’t have any issues with the Setup.

For wifi devices its works just like any other router and easy to set up and connect.

Just bought it after speaking with support on the best extender to go with Nighthawk X10 R9000 Router. Have spent the last 2 days trying to connect it to my WiFi network. Did everything pre the set up guide, the internet tutorials, set up support order and spoke with person I could hardly understand. Finally got it to show up on my WiFi network. Got it connected once, then it kicked off. Now back to trying to reset it and trying it all again tomorrow. Very frustrating.

Internet is far back area of the house.
When 2 big cable companies said it would cost us thousands upon thousands to bring internet to a small house in the back of a main house I bought this nighthawk mesh extender. I was very skeptical that it would work because of the distance between the two dwellings but guess what? It did work. WiFi is now available throughout the new house w/o having to pay any new monthly fees.

Second time is the charm
Purchased the first Netgear Night Hawk and worked two evenings trying to set it up. I could not complete the st up even though the online down load was very easy to follow so I contacted the “free” Net Gear on line customer service and the first thing it asked for after my name was a credit card for payment. That isn’t exactly my idea of free and I abandoned the process. I contacted the vendor’s customer service via phone. After a fifty five minute wait I had a friendly, helpful live person. After about thirty minutes of do this or try that it was determined the best thing was to remove the set up process and start over. We did and got to the same place in the set up and experienced the exact same problem. It was determined the new extender must be faulty and that I should return the entire unit. I returned the unit to the vendor where I purchased it, Best Buy. Other than a seventy five mile trip each way the extender was exchanged without issue. The replacement extender set up as per the instructions and works perfectly

Best Wi-Fi Extender Around
I have a very large area that needs coverage. I purchased a Nighthawk router as the main router and then purchased 2 EAX80 extenders. They were very easy to setup and I was able to fully cover a 3 story 7,000 sq. ft. house. Having the SSID on the extender the same as the main SSID was a main feature for me. I would certainly buy this product again.

Painless integration and good signal extension
Have a few floors in my house that were preventing my router from reaching with good range to higher floors. This extender does the trick. With the Nighthawk app, I was able to remotely set the device up and see in real time how my two internet devices communicated and split the connected devices.

Can’t live without it
Moved into a bigger house and realized my Nighthawk XR500, while great, wasn’t able to adequately reach across the entire house, garage, and all the floors. I have been in the market for an extender and got the EAX80 during Prime Day. Now that I have it, I can’t imagine ever living without it. I have great signal on the balcony, in the backyard, the front yard, and even in the garage through steel doors. Great Product.

Bad product, bad tech support
I purchased this product after seeing multiple positive reviews on tech review sites. There were some negative reviews on Amazon but there are always a few. I should have listened to what they said. When the Nighthawk Mesh extender arrived, I followed the installation instructions using the Nighthawk app. The QR code didn’t scan correctly so I did a manual install. Unfortunately I had to stop when it mentioned using the “included” Ethernet cable, which wasn’t included. I then configured it using the WPS approach but none of my devices received any signal despite the extender appearing to transmit. On my iPhone, I kept getting a separate security certificate error message and it didn’t receive internet either. I tried to go through the reconfiguration steps several more times and then called tech support. After being on hold for almost an hour, I was connected to someone who said I needed to speak to a specialist. I was on hold for 30 more minutes. By this point, when I checked my computer, it seemed to be receiving a signal. I couldn’t check my phone because I was speaking on it, but the tech support person said that the error message I got was nothing to worry about and it shouldn’t appear again. But the next day, it did and I couldn’t send email from my iPhone without shutting off the nighthawk extender. I looked online for solutions and apparently this is a common, known problem with this extender and Apple products. All of the “solutions” being suggested on the community forum involved significant admin level changes to fix and many seemed to weaken network security. As an IT professional, I’m perfectly capable of doing complex command language level changes, but not if it compromises my network security. Consequently, I ended up returning the product. The return process seems to have gone smoothly but I’ve not seen my charge refunded yet so I’m reluctant to say that it’s too easy. Overall, I’d recommend going with a brand other than Netgear especially if you have Apple devices that you need to connect.

Technically functional
Note: I have a nighthawk router. I hardlined my wifi extender from the router. I did set up new wireless access points on the wifi extender.
The UI is a little clunky using the genie desktop app and even the nighthawk app mobile app.
Like it shows the connection is there for me as an extender.
But some functionalities that I would expect aren't. Plus it just recognizes the extenders as devices and ip or Mac addresses.
Which just doesn't make sense to me on the network map.

We already had a Nighthawk AX12 in our 1100sf condo but when we moved to a house with an unattached garage and over an acre of property, we found the drop-off in signal wasn't meeting our needs. We bought AX6000. Installation was simple. Not only did we hook it up to the Xbox for faster speeds but now our garage and deck have WIFI!

A Wi-Fi extender that mostly works
This NETGEAR mesh Wi-Fi extender works, but I’ve got to insert the caveat that it’s working is maddeningly and intermittently inconsistent. Its Wi-Fi signal seems to conflict at times (my guess) with the Wi-Fi signal from our NETGEAR Nighthawk router. Moving the extender around to find a sweet spot has helped but only until unpredictably it doesn’t. Mercifully, it’s worked consistently now for the past week.

Excellent WiFi Extension
I bought this WiFi extension so I had WiFi all thru my house and yard, let me tell you this is an excellent WiFi mesh all my cameras pick up the signal with great quality there on my detached garage also. It took me weeks to decide and look at reviews as I did not want something I had to send back. I can't stress how much I like this extender. Buying 1 for my daughter's house as well.

Increased my speed 3x
Works pretty well, replacing an older, different range extender and this model tripled the speed at my end devices. The setup was fairly painless though I do have some experience with such things, and had to manually connect to the device using the web interface and change the SSID to different names to get it to work like I needed. It's too bad that that functionality is not built into the app, seems kind of silly to have to configure it in two places, feels like an afterthought or unfinished in some way and certainly will confuse those not experienced with such things. The connection has been solid so far, no disconnects or lags of note during use. I do notice that the

I had a few issues with the initial setup as my devices would not recognize the extender, but once I rebooted my router the extender began working as expected. I like that you can use the existing router network name. I have had the extender about a week now and it is working quite well.

I purchased this extender to increase the range in my home. I was previously using a TP Link RE700 and from the router to the office across the home I got only 100 MB off a GB network. I am not getting 300-400 MB in the office now so a great improvement.

Blindsided on specification
I had bought one through Amazon. Was very happy receiving it. connected the extender to my existing Xfinity router. The extender connected, but could not get internet connection for the devices connected to it.
It transpires after connecting to support that I have to buy additional service for installing Firewall security. This is nowhere mentioned in the specification or the description of the device.
I feel that I have been blindsided and Netgear is fleecing the customers. I am utterly disappointed.
I have decided to return the extender to Amazon with a note of my disappointment.

The EAX80 was super easy to setup using the Nighthawk app. I add this device to complement my RAX120 router since I have the router on the second floor close to my Desktop. I was having issues connect my ring cameras from that position so I decided I needed a little boost. The EAX80 helped tremendously. All cameras connect easily now and have wifi all through my yard as well.

Excellent Performance
Our home is 3500 Sq.ft. and we want WiFi in every room and on the patio. The EAX80 did that. Our basic cable/wireless modem only covered a third, and half of that only at 150 Mb. Now its the whole house and averages 860 Mb! Nice! Setup was easy, just follow the quick set up and get the mobile phone app. I'm very happy. You get what you pay for...

Technology at its best
When I started looking at WiFi extender’s I was referred to NetGear. I called the company, and from the minute I started talking with them. I made sure to answer all of my questions in detail, and recommended which extender would work best for me. I received that the technical support department was absolutely superb with helping me getting it set up and they were right. It is an excellent product. It really has helped with the dead spots in my house. I will be recommending this company and that’s probably too many others way to go

Great Wi-Fi 6 range extender
I purchased the Nighthawk EAX80 Wi-Fi mesh range extender to upgrade an aging Netgear EX8000 setup to WiFi 6. The setup was super easy, and by using browser-based setup instead of the app I was able to change the Wi-Fi name and other specific settings easily so that my extended network has a different SSID. The default is a mesh network with the same SSIDs as the main network so that you can freely move from one end to the other without losing connection, which is probably the best setting for most people, but I had specific needs. The range and signal strength is impressive; my EAX80 is about 70 feet from my main router yet I still get solid 5GHZ connectivity with no dropouts and very good throughput

Easy set up. Decent speeds. Good coverage
As the title states the extender is very easy to set up with the app.
I have been pleased with the overall strength of signal it provides (using it downstairs to extend main router upstairs). My fiber speeds go from 900MBps upstairs to around 300-400 downstairs. That’s a drop for sure but livable. Item is probably pricier than it delivers on performance. But the idea of simplifying the set up experience and having one SSID to rule them all makes the product worth it.

A simple way to bring ethernet to a room...
Before this I was using Moca adapters for ethernet to a room upstairs, but I don't think my cable company love that idea. Also, when I installed the filters the Moca adapters no longer transmitted to each other. Wasn't sure if I was leaking signals to neighbors so I had to put the idea to rest. I am glad I became aware of this Netgear EAX80. It does the job of a switch (four ethernet ports) and a range extender all in one device simultaneously, one power plug, less wires. I'm sure I can plug the EXA80 into my existing switch if I ever need more ports. Works great!!! Currently using to connect my Apple TV, and Steam Deck with ethernet. Wish my monitor had an ethernet port, but that will have to wait for the future.

The best Mesh range extender in the market
If you want a really strong and dependable mesh range extender for your house or work site, then I 1,000,000% recommend the Netgear NightHawk Wifi 6. It's just a terrific extender and has an very easy setup in the beginning and after, you will have not just an easier time in setting it up but will have a smooth and fast internet speeds like never before. This product is worth your money since it's a pretty cheap extender unlike others where they boost their price up to almost 300 to 400 dollars. With anymore rambling go out and buy this sweet puppy and kiss low bars and wifi speeds goodbye, and say HELLO!!! to faster speeds.

Smooth install of a powerful Extender
Love how easy Netgear equipment is to set up and tie into an existing WiFi system! This unit facilitated adding Ethernet capabilities to my Starlink Gen 2 system - Starlink does not as of yet have the capability of going beyond WiFi to Ethernet routing in one base unit. Using the adaptor and tieing into a 3rd party WiFi router has its problems that this extender setup avoids. The extender setup with Netgear has been trouble free and ties in all the Ethernet systems in the home office smoothly...

Extender could not extend both the 2G and 5g wireless networks from the C8000 router. When initially started extender would share both netwoks at high speed for a few minutes, then slow to a crawl. Only solution that worked from Netgear was to only extend either the 5g network over a 2.4G link or the 2.4G network over a 5G link in

Great Solution
I had trouble with getting good Wi-Fi reception in my house since I have a two story. This range extender has improved my Wi-Fi experience. I no longer had dead zones. The instructions are very easy to follow but if you get stuck, there is a utube channel that will help you outside of the packaging instructions.

Saved me!
This little device saved me from literally moving my office. It is next to the furnace room and therefore one entire wall is cinder block. I almost gave up, but first I purchased this device along with one plug in mesh. The two work beautifully together and now I have consistent wi fi speeds to work from home, stream video, etc. Thank you NETGEAR!!!

Great performance and easy to set up
I purchased this product to extend the WiFi signal to areas of my house that are farther away from my router and didn’t get great signal. My video meetings would always lose signal and it was impacting my ability to work from home.
Now I’m getting great speeds and for the most part, everything is working smoothly. I have had a few connectivity issues that last for 1-5 minutes where I cannot get any signal. Then, without doing anything, the signal is restored. This isn’t a daily occurrence and I’m not sure what causes it. It could be my ISP and not the extended, but it’s only happened since installing the NightHawk.
Overall the benefits far outweigh the very minor hiccups I experience.

Life saver!!!
I didn’t think using a Wi-Fi extender was going to be much help but I was definitely wrong! So a little background I live in the basement and I’m a casual gamer. I NEED decent enough speeds to be able to play some fps games without getting any type of latency issue or lag. Before this extender I was hitting 10-29 mbps and that’s with a 400/400 internet speed plan. Suffice to say my gaming experience wasn’t always good. Now that I’ve got the Nighthawk EAX80 though this internet speeds have hit as high as 380 mbps! That’s a crazy difference and my new gaming experience is a total 180. I’m so happy I got this!

Excellent!
I have had poor internet service for years by the only internet provider in the mountains where I live. Recently, a competitive internet provider ran fiber into where I live. Since the original service was phone line with their modem, I was required to purchase my own modem. I chose the NETGEAR Blackhawk! It was very easy to install and works exceptionally! I also bought an NETGEAR internet extender. The combination of both provides me with outstanding internet. Better than I have ever experienced. Thank you NETGEAR.

EAX80 does the job...
Upgraded my internet speed and needed to upgrade my internet gear as well. I added a new modem, router and added the EAX80 extender as internet is used on three levels at our home. The EAX80 was easy to start up and integrate with the Nighthawk router. It provides excellent service throughout our home. Start up guides were very helpful to make the transition pretty easy. Thank you NetGear.

To help expand my home network T Mobile Home. The set up was ver easy by following the Nighthawk App and took about 5-10 minutes taking my time. Now how did it affect my Wi-Fi? I have never had this kinds speed throughout my home and out building. 70-145 mbps DL and 35-60 mbps UL. Yes I would highly recommend the Nighthawk for your home or business network. Thank you NETGEAR for a great product.

Excellent range and speed
I owned a competitor's WiFi extender that plugged into a wall outlet. My IoT devices that were installed on the exterior of my home, struggled to connect with an inadequate quality signal. So, I bought an EAX80 even though I was a little concerned about the price point and the fact it wouldn't hang from an outlet but would need to be placed on a flat surface. After using the new extender for over a month, neither of those is a concern for me anymore. The range and speed I get with this product are phenomenal. I can go about fifty yards outside and still have a decent WiFi signal. I'm very impressed and would recommend this product to anyone. Best!

Decent - 4 Stars
*This review seems to only let me give 5 stars; this is a 4 star review*
The Nighthawk does a great job of receiving a wi-fi signal, but then it drops off quickly when you get even 10 or so feet away from it. You have to hardwire to it to fullly benefit from what it can do.

I receive fast internet that works multiple devices at the same time. My TV, smart plugs, Alexa's and even my pet's automatic food dish. Might be a little on the pricier side but WELL worth spending the extra couple dollars.

Great Wifi Extender but…
I would have given this EAX80 wifi extender five stars except that in the Nighthawk app on my iPhone it doesn’t identify the connected devices properly like the app does for the devices connected to my RAX80 Nighthawk router ?????
When I tried to chat online with their customer service agent about this (I even sent him screen shots of the issue) I got disconnected and then he closed my case in less than 24 hours without resolution before I even had a chance to get back to him ?? I got the impression that he didn’t have a clue how to fix this ??

It failed...clicking sound!
I bought this almost 1 year ago. Kept in a clean studio at 78 degrees with workstation and sensitive audio and computer equipment. One day it just stopped working. No lights on and a clicking sound. Checked power supply; it was fine. Tried plugging into other outlets still just a clicking sound from inside the unit...no lights. Disappointing. I feel bad for Netgear. I think their supplier of the internal components which I'm sure were outsourced probably let them down with inferior product. Tried another unit that I paid for. It too had problems (loose parts inside The failure rate is too high... moving on to another manufacturer.

Great idea- but no luck on actually extending the signal
Bought 1 month ago, and have factory rest and retried multiple times... this has effectively crippled my network each time I try. Even the peloton and wifi cameras will not work as soon as it broadcasts a signal. I use a nighthawk router... so thought this would be a natural fit. Would return if I was still in the amazon return window.

It offers much high speed service where the router signal was reduced.

Great WiFi Extender
I have WiFi cameras outside on all sides of the house. The cameras on the farthest side of the house did weird things sometimes when recording because of the weak signal. After installing the EAX80 extender, I now get 4 out of 4 WiFi bars on those cameras that previously only got 1 out of 4 bars. All cameras now work great! I setup the extender on that side of the house and coverage is now great all around!

Great Extender
This device has totally eliminated my wifi coverage issues. My ISP router is located on 2nd floor of my house, was receiving extremely poor signal in the basement (man cave). I tried a costly extender from my ISP, but this did not solve the problem. With the EAX80, I can now stream seamlessly. Beautiful!

It’s the best. Buy it
I’ve had issues with wifi performance since I’ve moved into my new place. It’s 2,500 sq feet and 2 levels. It’s not an open floor plan so every room is separated by walls. I’ve tried the smaller 300mb extenders from NETGEAR and while they did ok I was still not able to stream multiple instances of live video at all upstairs while hardwired into my smaller extender. With the nighthawk extender I can stream 3+ instances of live sports video without any buffering. And I have 0 dead spots in my home it’s well worth whatever price it’s sold for.

Fast and easy
Bought this alongside a Nighthawk router for a much needed 2022 update. With most wireless tech, I always expect set-up to be frustrating and take a few tries. But everything just worked when setting up the EAX80 extender. The unit itself is elegantly styled, and the Nighthawk app is quite good and very easy to use. Most importantly, our wireless is very fast and stable. Happy with our upgrade to Wi-Fi 6.

Best Extender out there!
I purchased several other extenders prior to the NetGear. Let me tell you, I wish I would have purchased this first! Setup was so easy. I followed along with the guided setup via the app. Once setup I moved it to my desired location in my home. We can now connect our phones, stream, and run our laptops in EVERY room of the house. Before we would drop calls, buffer, be unable to connect in our office. I highly recommend this extender.

CAX80 EAX80 combo
Used this extender with the Nighthawk CAX80 running 1200gbps Xfinity mainly due to many nearby Wi-Fi signals in the neighborhood bringing down my signal strength. I tested both the speed using 6 online speed tests and also using Netspot to measure the signal strength. Both greatly increased with the addition of the extender! Great for multi-floor homes!

A little difficult to setup
I bought this to extend my Wifi out into my 3/4 acre lot to a detached shed and garage. Setup was fairly straightforward, though it wasn't very clear to me when to switch back and forth between the Netgear Wifi to my home wifi, and it took longer than expected to process and connect. In the end, it's working, but it hasn't been completely smooth...

Brings wi-fi to the darkest places
This wi-fi mesh extender has been a game-changer for my home recording studio, which I built in a room that was far from our main router. This was the easiest and cheapest solution for my needs, and allows me the flexibility to plug-in with ethernet when I'm doing a remote session, and need there to be no latency in the recording process. The NightHawk is a winner!

I noticed a great difference in speed after installing this. However I do experience random disconnections from the internet and I'm wired into it. I had gone through initial setup and it was mostly a pain to get my phone to connect. There's a few other issues too with the app and repeater setup I did not like but other than that it's doing way better than the other ones I've tried so far.

But I believe it is. Just my app is probably not synced right. One day I'll have to check it out by calling the customer service for a forth time.

It’s working very well in my urban home despite many other nearby WiFi networks and late 19th century construction that often undermines WiFi range and performance.
I had some false starts on setup which was probably my fault, though it’s fairly straightforward and easy to manage both physically and via the Nighthawk app along with my XR1000 router.

I want to get give it a higher rating but I went out of town and now that I’ve come back no matter what I do I can’t tell if it’s working and even when I reset it it won’t reconfigure and it’s not bringing up the extender setting anymore even though it shows everything looking like it’s working. Because of this and the difficulty I’m having with the Nighthawk app I currently cannot give a higher review…

Netgear Nighhawk WIFI 6 Mesh Ext
I needed to extend my WIFI coverage in and around the exterior of our home. The Nighthawk EAX80 WIFI Mesh Extender is a perfect match paired with my Nighthawk CAX80 Router. My home is roughly 4000sf and sits on an acre lot and with both the CAX80 and EAX80 paired together all of my WIFI needs are met. Very easy to pair and easy to monitor using the Netgear App.

Great extender
I have a nighthawk router so it made sense to me to get the nighthawk extender.
I read a ton of the reviews and was a bit skeptical, but the set up was flawless and the extender is working perfectly. It updated and did everything it needed to and it's fine. I don't know why other people couldn't figure it out, the app made it SO easy. If I'm on a work call and moving around, my call will trip up and need to reconnect when my signal switches to the extender, but it's a quick hiccup and now that I know about it, I just make sure I'm not the one talking if I have to move to the extender's region of the house. I'm getting great speeds and I'd recommend this even if you don't have a nighthawk router.

Difficulty in setting up and linking
This was difficult to set up. I had to call twice and each time I was told a different way to setup the system. The last perso I spoke to told me that the first perso had me setup the system incorrectly. Also the first install was no compatible with my net gear router and took my whole system down.

Made good wifi better!
So we have good wifi, but from the other room, a direct ethernet cord wasn't possible and the signal was too weak for steam vr with virtual desktop with bad frame tearing. With this I can use it as a sort of wireless ethernet connection and can now run steam vr with virtual desktop at max setting with almost no frame tearing.

Best Range Extender
I have had WI-FI dead spots in my home for years. I have tried a multitude of range extenders and wireless access points in attempts to resolve this issue. All have failed to solve all of the dead spots.
I installed an EAX80 and all of my dead spots disappeared. I was able to remove all other range extenders and WAPs which simplified my home network. Performance of devices that connect to my network thru the EAX80 is dramatically faster.
Setup was a snap with the Nighthawk app. I had everything running in less than 5 minutes which included disconnecting all of the other extenders and WAPs.

EAX 80
Bought primarily for Range extender and range is no better than alot of less expensive extenders on the market in fact TP link out performs for less money. It is easy to setup wants to utilize mesh technology which doesn't play nice with devices dedicated to 2.4 features. WiFi. Overall very mediocre device quality does seem good and easy setup are pluses. Bottom line their are alot of better choices for performance out there and definitely ones with more bang for the buck. That is why I rate as mediocre pluses easy setup and appears as quality item and if you want mesh technology this is for you range is not impressive and compairs with way less expensive extenders.

Mediocre extender
Mediocre wifi extender for the price their are better options out their. You would expect stellar performance for the price point but range is mediocre at best. The mesh option is nice if everything you have plays nice with 2.4 and 5g while somethings require 2.4g which negates the mesh option. Quality does appear to be good so I hope lasts awhile time will tell. Set up is very easy and straightforward have only used as extender so can't comment on AP functionality. Overall very mediocre as extender range is fair not what you would expect from this price point quality appears good. Their are better options for performance and price out there.

Works seamlessly!
I added to extend the range of a ISP provided Zyxel Router it worked perfectly with. I then updated my internet and the ISP changed my Router to a Linksys Router which again worked perfectly with. I decided to stop paying the $7 ISP rental fee and updated the main Router to a Netgear Nighthawk XR1000 and it is working even better because neither of the ISP Routers were WiFi 6 Routers and the XR1000 is so it has opened up the full potential of the Nighthawk extender.

A little over budget
Device is sub par for a 200$ range extender. I have 2 in the house and it causes a bandwidth or lag issue. If I create a separate ssid it works okay on Wi-Fi. Once connected to Ethernet I get a rubber band and lag spike from 30-200 rapidly making it unable to play games like apex or valorant. My isp speed is 600mbps. Wired directly from router to pc I get about 550mbps.

We live in an area where Wi-Fi can be spotty so we have always had issues finding a good extender. We’ve tried EERO, Orbi, Xfinity Pods, and multiple others but none seemed to work and it was always a hassle. This extender was not only easy to setup but has made everything in the house run faster, and with ZERO issues. I will only be buying NETGEAR solutions from now on.

Great Device But Setup Leaves Alot to Be Desired
The NETGEAR EAX80 was a good investment! Set-up was not easy, however: there is an inconsistency among online instructions, "quick start" literature instructions that comes with the device, and the NIGHTHAWK App on how to successfully setup this Extender. The instructions are not user-friendly and not consistent across the different platforms available for to the consumer for self-serve assistance. Thanks to the Complimentary Customer Service available during the first 90 days of device purchase, I was able to obtain "human" support on the 2nd night of my attempt to setup my Extender. An agent was able to walk me step-by-step in order to get the AX80 Extender working. Were it not for the challenging setup, I would rate this Device Five Stars. Netgear needs to create a seamless transition from packaging to home use with simple to follow instructions across the board

Solid connection! Just what we needed
I read a lot of reviews before buying, and glad that I purchased this extender! Using this extender with Spectrum 1G modem and router (though I only pay for speeds up to 500 mbps).
Setup process was straight forward, though I had to call customer service at one point because I think I skipped a step. They were very helpful and able to walk me step by step through the process!
Our home is single story 1500sqft, but we were looking to extend our wifi range to our ADU (Additional dwelling unit) that is above our detached garage. We rent out this space and wanted better connectivity (signal was weak with current router in the back house). The garage is about 20 feet from the house and the second story living space is about 450 sqft. The range extender gives us solid connection all through the ADU and covering our entire garage and back yard! Very happy with this purchase at only $250.
Now my whole family, and our guests, can stay connected with high internet speeds on tons of devices. On any given day, we may have up to 30 devices or more connected between our home and our ADU (Phones, tvs, computers, smart devices, thermostats, cameras, game consoles, you name it)! I would recommend to anyone looking to extend their wifi range!
God bless you all in Jesus name!

I have had Netgear products since the early 2000's and they never disappoint. I upgraded my one I had because I needed more range for my outside security and the eax80 did the job and got every signal in the green more stable. The old Netgear worked great in my old setup but now I much needed an extra boost! Netgear will always be my brand for all my networking needs. Everything is ready and easy to setup.

When I use the app to check, it cannot find the device.

sounded great to extend my wifi
Bought this to extend the wifi range in my house, which has a lot of smart devices connected to my wireless network. works good for everything except for my desktop computer. The computer will not stay connected to the extender which is right next to my PC, and I have to enter the security key to connect back to it. It will stay connected to it for 30 sec and then disconnects and connects to the router which has a very weak signal. Reset it and still does it.

Great For Your Internet
I made the switch from Frontier to Spectrum and saved 200 on my bill. I had the fastest internet from both companies. Unfortunately the internet quality went way down . Though this internet booster is a tad bit more expensive than others it had great reviews. Did have some difficulty connecting it so I had to unplug my router and booster and start all over. Once it did connect though internet was smooth sailing . We have 2 PS5, a meta headset, 6 phones , and 3 laptops/computers. None of which are slow anymore and can be used simultaneously.

Installed this on main floor of house about 8 ft high, per all recommendations...it works in conjunction with CAX80 Cable/Modem Router (located in basement) in 4400 sq ft house, so far seems to work very well, Streaming to all areas of house, including deck, WiFi 6 has blazing performance (per Speed Test) from Samsung S22 phones, iPad's are a bit slower, since they don't support WiFi 6. Overall very pleased with this purchase, performance and ease of installation.

Not impressive
I had recently upgraded my modem and a router to the nighthawk edition that supports the 6E Wi-Fi band. I was still disappointed and the coverage I was getting in my rather large home so I purchased my first extender made by Netgear and was equally disappointed by the results from that. I followed directions carefully and consulted with their help desk to be sure I hadn't done anything wrong. Long story short, I ended up returning the extender and depend on just the basic modem and router.

WiFi6 extender in a mixed network
In my situation a complete adoption of wifi6 was not an option as I am with an Internet Service Provider that provides a managed DSL gateway/router which is not available yet in a WiFi6 version. Adding the Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender (EAX80) has significantly improved our antiquated DSL internet experience by providing better wifi handling of the growing number of devices connected.
Prior to adding the EAX80 we would have to reset the ISP provided managed DSL router periodically to resolve connected without internet issues found on many devices on the 2.4Ghz channel. Most likely this issue was related to deficiencies and limitations of the ISP DSL gateway/router; of course being ISP managed didn't help since our customer portal has very limited tools for managing and diagnostics.
Since adding the extender we have not had to reset the DSL modem to resolve connected without internet issues as before and it appears to have improved internet stability to all wifi connected devices on our network.
The big takeaway is that you can gain benefits of wifi6 in a mixed wireless network even if you can't switch over completely by adding a Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender in the interim. Additionally the ability to use the same SSID via the extender makes for a more seamless and convenient way to connect and stay connected while roaming too.

Good once setup
The extender works great once setup, however getting setup required some effort. The app refused to work (errored out saying incorrect password multiple times doing various combinations of attempted workarounds - the password was completely fine, same with security selection). I had to connect a laptop via ethernet to the extender to get anywhere. I also do not broadcast my SSID which proved to be a problem with initial setup. I had to turn on broadcasting temporarily to get it connected and even when doing that, the admin pages timed out multiple times. I'm not sure if it's poor scripting or an underpowered CPU, but the webpages in the admin console are quite slow. Apart from the setup headaches, the device works great.

Easy to Set Up and Use
For a range extender- it’s outstanding. It has all the ease of setup and features you’d hope for in a router at this price point. The only improvement is that I’ve found if you’re walking from closer to the extender back to your access point, the device’s WiFi seems to get “confused” and take a bit to settle on what to use

Great mesh extender
I have a Verizon home internet gateway WIFI 6 with 300 Mbs download and 20 Mbps upload speed...very reliable, but wanted an extender to increase the WIFI range to my garage. Based on reviews I got the EAX 80 also WIFI 6....to my surprise, it was easy to sync with Verizon gateway and extended the range way beyond the garage... Very reliable and very happy with the purchase.

Very quick install and good performance
I have a large house and the basement is one giant WiFi dead-zone, with the exception of a couple of small areas. I initially purchased the EAX80 to extend the reach of the wireless router provided by my ISP (Comcast Xfinity) - and then used it to extend the reach of the Netgear CAX30S I purchased to replace my ISP's router. In each case the EAX80 connected to the router easily and provided fantastic WiFi to the entire basement. The Netgear Nighthawk phone app made the setup process a breeze and provides great insight into both the router and extender's configuration, as well as connected clients.

Netgear's EAX80 Mesh Extender
This Netgear Nighthawk AX6000 WiFi 6 Mesh Extender purchase was a replacement for an older Netgear extender I bought previously. With the new extender, I now have a strong and uninterrupted Internet signal throughout my home. Also, I no longer have to worry about restarting the extender because of a weak WiFi signal or equipment failure. These benefits are due to the improved WiFi 6 technology that is included in this Netgear extender unit. Finally, equipment setup was easy.

Easy to install / Great coverage!
The Netgear WiFi 6 Mesh Extender was incredibly easy to install and it’s greatly improved the coverage in my house. My main WiFi router is downstairs in my home office, but I needed an extender to provide additional coverage for the tv, game consoles and WiFi reliability for my son’s laptop so that he could do homework in his bedroom upstairs. While we had medium reception in certain parts of the house, there were spots in the dining room that were really low.
The mesh extender increased the WiFi strength throughout our entire household to maximum strength, and everyone is happy.
I can monitor the router and extender through the Nighthawk mobile app (iOS), and it’s great.

Great match for CAX80
I have the netgear nighthawk modem router (cax80) for my gigabit Xfinity cable internet service. The modem router worked well but I had trouble finding an extender that worked well with it. The EAX80 works seamlessly with the CAX80, easy install using the nighthawk app, one network name, no issues (besides the app being wonky and saying this don’t work or aren’t updated then saying nevermind everything is fine or saying it cant find my extender but the actual device seemed to be connected then I close out of the app, open it again and oop the extender is connected and everything is fine - that type of thing). Great extender for the cax80 modem router.

Setup Problems
I am having trouble with the number of external web attacks that it has attracted, but were blocked by the Netgear router’s security. And now it is calling secure URLs insecure. I have not fallen to the known Extender Setup scan but do feel that there are still problems that should have either been included in a warning or subverted by a software fix before sale. All of the security issues go away when the extender is turned off.

Tripled my WIFI in my home. My WIFI now extends into my Lani and backyard and strong in the garage. I have a cement block home and needed this to get the WIFI range I needed.

NETGEAR Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh Range Extender EAX80
I finally upgraded my old Netgear rage extender.
Much faster speeds and more compatible with newer devices. Also a much larger coverage area in

Netgear Extender
Just moved into a new home and our Cox modem is positioned in the middle of our home and my work desktop in my office in the front of our home was not getting enough download/upload speeds. It was pretty slow. We think with wall interference between the two locations. Setting up the extender on a space out in our entry way between my office and the modem has made a huge difference. I have all bars on my wifi icon again and my speeds are much faster. I would recommend this product.

Works great, easy to configure
I needed a device to connected to my xfinity router and allow me to plug device in wired. Works great. Strong connection, easy to configure, and does what I want it to.

Much better than the router
The title says it all. I have Xfinity service with a landline phone so was limited in modem/router selection. The Motorolla 8733 I bought has a strong signal range of about 15-20 feet. I paired the range extender and have good service throughout my house now. A few problems at first, that were related to the router (it kept dropping the connection to the nighthawk). That seems to have cleared up and everything is working fine. I have good signal strength, seamless changes as I move through the house, and it was easy to set up.

Nighthawk EAX80 AX6000 WiFi 6
Very helpful device, my internet was really slow and when I used the nighthawk it boosted my internet speed from 20mbps to 80 mbps

Decent extender
Bought this product because the range on my spectrum provided equipment wasn’t reaching all rooms in my house.
Setup was easy and painless and my WiFi network reaches the full house now.
Reason I wasn’t 5 stars was the WiFi speed is a little slower than I’d hoped. The signal through this device is about 40% lower than the WiFi speed I get in areas the main signal reaches.
I’d have hoped to have less loss, still works well but if it was closer in speed it would be perfect.

Great product
Works as described. My wifi os super fast and I can now connect devices that would not reach the stand alone router.

Seamlessly integrates with the router
This extender works great with my Nighthawk router allowing me to use WiFi in all parts of my house and even in the backyard. Installation was pretty straightforward and only took few minutes.
